Pull request overview
This PR aims to fix mdBook validation errors by adding appropriate language specifiers and ignore attributes to code blocks. The goal is to reduce test failures from 385 to 135 (65% reduction) by properly marking output blocks, directory trees, and incomplete code examples.
Key Changes
- Added
textlanguage specifier to non-code blocks (command output, compilation messages, directory trees, diagrams) - Added
ignoreattribute to incomplete code snippets that reference undefined types or external dependencies - Applied fixes across 88 files in the documentation

This closing code fence should be marked as rust instead of text. The block starting at line 6 contains Rust code, not text output. The language specifier should be on the opening fence (line 6), not the closing fence.

This code fence closing marker is incorrectly marked as text. Looking at the context, this appears to be closing a Rust code block that starts at line 87, not a text output block. The language specifier should only be on the opening fence.

This closing code fence is incorrectly marked as text. Looking at the context, this appears to be closing a Rust code block that shows a function definition, not a text output block. Language specifiers should only appear on opening fences, not closing fences.

This closing code fence is incorrectly marked as text. Looking at the context, this appears to be closing a Rust code block that starts at line 17 showing a macro invocation. Language specifiers should only appear on opening fences, not closing fences.

The closing code fence is being marked as text, which is incorrect. This appears to be closing a Rust code block that contains a function definition. Language specifiers should only be placed on opening code fences, never on closing fences.

The closing code fence is being marked as text, which is incorrect. Language specifiers should only appear on opening code fences. This appears to be closing a code block that starts earlier in the file.

The closing code fence is being marked as text, which is incorrect. This appears to be closing a code block showing thread output. Language specifiers should only appear on opening code fences, never on closing fences.

The closing code fence is being marked as text, which is incorrect. Language specifiers should only appear on opening code fences. This appears to be closing a code block that contains expected output text.
Running
mdbook teston the tutorial revealed 385 test failures across 88 files. These failures prevent proper validation of Rust code examples in the documentation.Changes
Code block language specifiers:
textto output blocks (command output, compilation messages, program output)textto blocks with box-drawing characters (directory trees, tables)Incomplete code examples:

Results
Remaining failures are edge cases in quiz/exercise files requiring targeted manual review.
