This PR ensures that for modules opted into the experimental module
system, we do not import module docstrings or declaration ranges.
Excluding declaration docstrings as well would require some more work to
make `[inherit_doc]` leave a mere reference to the other declaration
instead of copying its docstring eagerly.
This PR enables the use of the build-time configuration of the Lean
reference manual URL and updates the release checklist to account for
the reference manual.
This is a follow-up to #7240, after the required `stage0` update.
The release process described here uses the same location for the
reference manual for RCs and stable releases. This is for two reasons:
1. The only changes between them should be a modification of the
embedded version string and updates to the final release's release
notes, once those are included.
2. It ensures that a compatible manual is available at the moment that
the new release appears, so any delay getting it deployed won't be
visible to users.
This PR adds a canonical syntax for linking to sections in the language
reference along with formatting of examples in docstrings according to
the docstring style guide.
Docstrings are now pre-processed as follows:
* Output included as part of examples is shown with leading line comment
indicators in hovers
* URLs of the form `lean-manual://section/section-id` are rewritten to
links that point at the corresponding section in the Lean reference
manual. The reference manual's base URL is configured when Lean is built
and can be overridden with the `LEAN_MANUAL_ROOT` environment variable.
This way, releases can point documentation links to the correct
snapshot, and users can use their own, e.g. for offline reading.
Manual URLs in docstrings are validated when the docstring is added. The
presence of a URL starting with `lean-manual://` that is not a
syntactically valid section link causes the docstring to be rejected.
This allows for future extensibility to the set of allowed links. There
is no validation that the linked-to section actually exists. To provide
the best possible error messages in case of validation failures,
`Lean.addDocString` now takes a `TSyntax ``docComment` instead of a
string; clients should adapt by removing the step that extracts the
string, or by calling the lower-level `addDocStringCore` in cases where
the docstring in question is obtained from the environment and has thus
already had its links validated.
A stage0 update is required to make the documentation site configurable
at build time and for releases. A local commit on top of a stage0 update
that will be sent in a followup PR includes the configurable reference
manual root and updates to the release checklist.

This is the groundwork for a tactic index in generated documentation, as
there was in Lean 3. There are a few challenges to getting this to work
well in Lean 4:
* There's no natural notion of *tactic identity* - a tactic may be
specified by multiple syntax rules (e.g. the pattern-matching version of
`intro` is specified apart from the default version, but both are the
same from a user perspective)
* There's no natural notion of *tactic name* - here, we take the
pragmatic choice of using the first keyword atom in the tactic's syntax
specification, but this may need to be overridable someday.
* Tactics are extensible, but we don't want to allow arbitrary imports
to clobber existing tactic docstrings, which could become unpredictable
in practice.
For tactic identity, this PR introduces the notion of a *tactic
alternative*, which is a `syntax` specification that is really "the same
as" an existing tactic, but needs to be separate for technical reasons.
This provides a notion of tactic identity, which we can use as the basis
of a tactic index in generated documentation. Alternative forms of
tactics are specified using a new `@[tactic_alt IDENT]` attribute,
applied to the new tactic syntax. It is an error to declare a tactic
syntax rule to be an alternative of another one that is itself an
alternative. Documentation hovers now take alternatives into account,
and display the docs for the canonical name.
*Tactic tags*, created with the `register_tactic_tag` command, specify
tags that may be applied to tactics. This is intended to be used by
doc-gen and Verso. Tags may be applied using the `@[tactic_tag TAG1 TAG2
...]` attribute on a canonical tactic parser, which may be used in any
module to facilitate downstream projects introducing tags that apply to
pre-existing tactics. Tags may not be removed, but it's fine to
redundantly add them. The collection of tags, and the tactics to which
they're applied, can be seen using the `#print tactic tags` command.
*Extension documentation* provides a structured way to document
extensions to tactics. The resulting documentation is gathered into a
bulleted list at the bottom of the tactic's docstring. Extensions are
added using the `tactic_extension TAC` command. This can be used when
adding new interpretations of a tactic via `macro_rules`, when extending
some table or search index used by the tactic, or in any other way. It
is a command to facilitate its flexible use with various extension
mechanisms.
