One of the people who presented DocC used to lead both the rustdoc and docs.rs teams. You can see Ferris, the Rust mascot, on their desk.

I think quality documentation can be written within the markdown that explains how higher levels concepts work. I see this in Rust all the time.



Off topic: I didn't know the Rust mascot was named Ferris. That's a lovely play on words.


I thought Ferris was named after ferrous oxide, which is the old name for Fe(II) oxide. But chemically, rust consists of Fe(III) oxide, or ferric oxide. So perhaps a more appropriate name would be Ferrick?


A little artistic license is better than foolish pedantry.
