Guidelines

指南

  • Key concepts should be explained only once. All other documentation should use an intra-documentation link to the first explanation.
  • Always use an intra-documentation link when mentioning a Rust symbol (type, function, constant, etc.).
  • Avoid referring to specific lines or line ranges, as they may change over time. Use line comments if the documentation needs to be attached to a specific code section inside a function/method body.
  • Focus on why, not how. In particular, avoid explaining trivial implementation details in line comments.
  • Refer to constants using intra-documentation links. Don't hard-code their values in the documentation of other items.
  • Intra-documentation links to private items are preferable to duplication. Add
    #[allow(rustdoc::private_intra_doc_links)]
    where relevant.
  • 核心概念仅需解释一次。其他所有文档应使用文档内链接指向首次解释的位置。
  • 提及Rust符号(类型、函数、常量等)时,务必使用文档内链接。
  • 避免引用特定行或行范围,因为这些内容可能会随时间变化。如果文档需要附加到函数/方法体内的特定代码段,请使用行注释。
  • 重点说明“为什么”,而非“怎么做”。尤其要避免在行注释中解释无关紧要的实现细节。
  • 使用文档内链接引用常量。不要在其他项的文档中硬编码常量的值。
  • 对于私有项,使用文档内链接优于重复内容。在相关位置添加
    #[allow(rustdoc::private_intra_doc_links)]
