Better fix code blocks in /about

[camelid]

This is a followup to #1315 to fix the extra blank line at the top and
to fix the indentation.

This fix is based on this suggestion: #1315 (comment)

[camelid]

Hopefully the removal of the newline after <pre><code> will interact nicely with this dedent level...

Can you post a screenshot of what this looks like?

Can you post a screenshot of what this looks like?

Unfortunately I can't because I don't have a local docs.rs dev environment.

You should be able to build the web server even if crate builds don't work. Try cargo run start-web-server.

I'm getting errors like Error: configuration variable CRATESFYI_PREFIX is missing and Error: configuration variable CRATESFYI_DATABASE_URL is missing.

Please read the README. You need to copy the .env.sample file to .env.

I assumed that section of the README was irrelevant because it described using docker-compose and downloading a bunch of crate data.

[jyn514]

If you're not building crates, all parts of the readme are still relevant except the ones explicitly about building crates:

# Build a sample crate to make sure it works
# This also sets up the docs.rs build environment.
# This will take a while the first time but will be cached afterwards.
cargo run -- build crate regex 1.3.1
# Generate important files for the web navigation
cargo run -- build add-essential-files

Everything else is still accurate. If you like you could make a PR clarifying it :)

@camelid are you still interested in working on this?

[jyn514]

I tested and this works correctly:

Are you interested in doing the same for the metadata page?

Yeah, sorry for the delay! I just haven't gotten around to setting up the dev environment.

I tested and this works correctly:

Thank you for testing it! I'm glad it works :)

I just pushed up a commit that should fix that (eea9807). Could you check if it works? Thanks :)

I'd prefer to help you get the development environment working - let me know if you run into trouble with that.
