Rust: Add link to XID_start and XID_continue definitions in language reference

[casey]

It would be great if the identifiers section of the language reference linked to some kind of definition of XID_start and XID_continue. Just searching for "xid_start xid_continue" in google doesn't give good results.

There might be a better page out there, but this is the best reference I could find:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/4.1.0/ucd/DerivedCoreProperties.txt

There is this...

Nice find! That looks much nicer. Although the .txt link might also be useful, for people who want to write tools/etc.

Triage; this is a great first bug for anyone wanting to get started working on docs. I am happy to mentor anyone who's interested in tackling this!

Note: the reference has moved to https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/reference, so PRs would go there.

I'm going to leave this one around since it's such a great first bug, but ideally, it would be filed on that repo.

I still don't see any link to the definitions of XID_start and XID_continue on the reference page.

@VinithKrishnan yes, this bug is still open. Would you be interested in adding it?

[VinithKrishnan]

Yes,I would!

@VinithKrishnan wonderful!

https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/reference is where the reference lives now. Note that these two URLs look a little different:

• https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference.html
• https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/reference/

that is, we've split the reference up into pages as well as moved it into its own repository.

The identifiers section now lives here: https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/reference/blob/master/src/identifiers.md

So, sending a PR there to add these links should take care of it.

Please let me know if you need any more help than that! I'd be happy to answer any questions.
