    hopefully that all makes sense
    this is arguably the smallest change you could make to rustdoc, but it's still a really useful one
    (saving things like little css changes or typo fixes, i guess)

    Looks good, thanks! I will clone the repo and get to it :grin:

    @QuietMisdreavus
    awesome! let me know if you run into any issues

    @ranveeraggarwal
    Sure!

    since you said you're cloning the repo now, i'll point you to the setup tips in the bottom 2/3 of this post https://quietmisdreavus.net/code/2017/09/18/come-work-on-rustdoc/
    that should help get you most of the way there

    Awesome, I guess I have everything required. I live in an opposite (D/N) timezone, so it'll be a while until I get back.

    oh, no worries
    gitter has persistent server-side logs, so if you leave a question in here i'll see it the next time i'm on

    Hello! I am trying to build the rust compiler locally, and am stuck on the "Building stage1 std artifacts" stage. I ran a clean-build a couple of times, it's stuck there. Any idea why this could be happening?
    Stuck = 4+ hours, no message on my terminal.
    System spec: MacOS 10.13, 2.7 GHz dual core i5, 8 GB RAM (so I don't think it's because of a slow machine)

    oh dear D:
    i've had problems with x.py clean before, what happens if you just torch the build/$TARGET directory entirely? you could probably get away with keeping llvm and native if you don't want to start completely over

    Hmm, I see. I'll try this out fingers crossed

    @ranveeraggarwal I'd try something like find build -name '.cargo-lock' -delete
    If you kill Cargo at the wrong point it will indefinitely wait for a nonexistent cargo to finish

    I actually torched the build folder and tried rebuilding. Same problem :/

    Hey! I'm interested in working on rustdoc. I'd say my Rust is at an intermediate level. What are some issues I could look at?

    @QuietMisdreavus
    @ijks hey, sorry for missing this yesterday! i'll see if i can dig up something for you later today
    in the meantime, if you want to get familiar with the code, the best place to dig around is src/librustdoc/html/render.rs in the rust-lang/rust repo
    that's where most of the code that creates the HTML is

    each individual kind of page goes through this Display impl here and gets dispatched to one of these functions to fill it in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/librustdoc/html/render.rs#L1759-L1773

    @QuietMisdreavus Thanks! I'll take a look at that tomorrow.
