-[github-releases]: https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases
-
-The main interface to rust-analyzer is the
-[LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) implementation. To
-install lsp server, you have three options:
-
-* **Preferred and default:** install the plugin/extension for your IDE and it will ask your permission to automatically download the latest lsp server for you from [GitHub releases][github-releases]. (See docs to find out whether this is implemented for your editor below).
-* Manually download prebuilt binaries from [GitHub releases][github-releases]
-    * `ra_lsp_server-linux` for Linux
-    * `ra_lsp_server-mac` for Mac
-    * `ra_lsp_server-windows.exe` for Windows
-* Clone the repository and build from sources
-```bash
-$ git clone [email protected]:rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer && cd rust-analyzer
-$ cargo xtask install --server # or cargo install --path ./crates/ra_lsp_server
-```
-
-This way you will get a binary named `ra_lsp_server` (with os suffix for prebuilt binaries)
-which you should be able to use with any LSP-compatible editor.
-
-We make use of custom extensions to LSP, so special client-side support is required to take full
-advantage of rust-analyzer. This repository contains support code for VS Code.
-
-Rust Analyzer needs sources of rust standard library to work, so
-you might also need to execute
-
-```
-$ rustup component add rust-src
-```
-
-See [./features.md](./features.md) document for a list of features that are available.
-
-## VS Code
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-You will need the most recent version of VS Code: we don't try to
-maintain compatibility with older versions yet.
-
-### Installation from prebuilt binaries
-
-We ship prebuilt binaries for Linux, Mac and Windows via
-[GitHub releases][github-releases].
-In order to use them you need to install the client VSCode extension.
-
-Publishing to VS Code marketplace is currently WIP. Thus, you need to manually download
-`rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix` file from latest [GitHub release][github-releases].
-
-After you downloaded the `.vsix` file you can install it from the terminal
-
-```
-$ code --install-extension rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix
-```
-
-Or open VS Code, press <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd>, and search for the following command:
-
-<img width="500px" alt="Install from VSIX command" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36276403/74108225-c0c11d80-4b80-11ea-9b2a-0a43f09e29af.png">
-
-Press <kbd>Enter</kbd> and go to `rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix` file through the file explorer.
-
-Then open some Rust project and you should
-see an info message pop-up.
-
-<img height="140px" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36276403/74103174-a40df100-4b52-11ea-81f4-372c70797924.png" alt="Download now message"/>
-
-
-Click `Download now`, wait until the progress is 100% and you are ready to go.
-
-For updates you need to remove installed binary
-```
-rm -rf ${HOME}/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer
-```
-
-`"Download latest language server"` command for VSCode and automatic updates detection is currently WIP.
-
-
-### Installation from sources
-
-In order to build the VS Code plugin from sources, you need to have node.js and npm with
-a minimum version of 12 installed. Please refer to
-[node.js and npm documentation](https://nodejs.org) for installation instructions.
-
-The experimental VS Code plugin can be built and installed by executing the
-following commands:
-
-```
-$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
-$ cd rust-analyzer
-$ cargo xtask install
-```
-
-After that you need to amend your `settings.json` file to explicitly specify the
-path to `ra_lsp_server` that you've just built.
-```json
-{
-    "rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath": "ra_lsp_server"
-}
-```
-This should work on all platforms, otherwise if installed `ra_lsp_server` is not available through your `$PATH` then see how to configure it [here](#setting-up-the-PATH-variable).
-
-
-The automatic installation is expected to *just work* for common cases, if it
-doesn't, report bugs!
-
-**Note** [#1831](https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/1831): If you are using the popular
-[Vim emulation plugin](https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim), you will likely
-need to turn off the `rust-analyzer.enableEnhancedTyping` setting.
-(// TODO: This configuration is no longer available, enhanced typing shoud be disabled via removing Enter key binding, [see this issue](https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/3051))
-
-If you have an unusual setup (for example, `code` is not in the `PATH`), you
-should adapt these manual installation instructions:
-
-```
-$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
-$ cd rust-analyzer
-$ cargo install --path ./crates/ra_lsp_server/ --force --locked
-$ cd ./editors/code
-$ npm install
-$ npm run package
-$ code --install-extension ./rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix
-```
-
-It's better to remove existing Rust plugins to avoid interference.
-
-Beyond basic LSP features, there are some extension commands which you can
-invoke via <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd> or bind to a shortcut. See [./features.md](./features.md)
-for details.
-
-For updates, pull the latest changes from the master branch, run `cargo xtask install` again, and **restart** VS Code instance.
-See [microsoft/vscode#72308](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/72308) for why a full restart is needed.
-
-### VS Code Remote
-
-You can also use `rust-analyzer` with the Visual Studio Code Remote extensions
-(Remote SSH, Remote WSL, Remote Containers). In this case, however, you have to
-manually install the `.vsix` package:
-
-1. Build the extension on the remote host using the instructions above (ignore the
-   error if `code` cannot be found in your PATH: VSCode doesn't need to be installed
-   on the remote host).
-2. In Visual Studio Code open a connection to the remote host.
-3. Open the Extensions View (`View > Extensions`, keyboard shortcut: `Ctrl+Shift+X`).
-4. From the top-right kebab menu (`···`) select `Install from VSIX...`
-5. Inside the `rust-analyzer` directory find the `editors/code` subdirectory and choose
-   the `rust-analyzer-0.1.0.vsix` file.
-6. Restart Visual Studio Code and re-establish the connection to the remote host.
-
-In case of errors please make sure that `~/.cargo/bin` is in your `PATH` on the remote
-host.
-
-### Settings
-
-* `rust-analyzer.highlightingOn`: enables experimental syntax highlighting.
-  Colors can be configured via `editor.tokenColorCustomizations`.
-  As an example, [Pale Fire](https://github.com/matklad/pale-fire/) color scheme tweaks rust colors.
-* `rust-analyzer.enableEnhancedTyping`: by default, rust-analyzer intercepts the
-  `Enter` key to make it easier to continue comments. Note that it may conflict with VIM emulation plugin.
-* `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`: path to `ra_lsp_server` executable, when absent or `null` defaults to prebuilt binary path
-* `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup`: prompt to install & enable `cargo
-  watch` for live error highlighting (note, this **does not** use rust-analyzer)
-* `rust-analyzer.excludeGlobs`: a list of glob-patterns for exclusion (see globset [docs](https://docs.rs/globset) for syntax).
-  Note: glob patterns are applied to all Cargo packages and a rooted at a package root.
-  This is not very intuitive and a limitation of a current implementation.
-* `rust-analyzer.useClientWatching`: use client provided file watching instead
-  of notify watching.
-* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.command`: `cargo-watch` command. (e.g: `clippy` will run as `cargo watch -x clippy` )
-* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.arguments`: cargo-watch check arguments.
-  (e.g: `--features="shumway,pdf"` will run as `cargo watch -x "check --features="shumway,pdf""` )
-* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.ignore`: list of patterns for cargo-watch to ignore (will be passed as `--ignore`)
-* `rust-analyzer.trace.server`: enables internal logging
-* `rust-analyzer.trace.cargo-watch`: enables cargo-watch logging
-* `RUST_SRC_PATH`: environment variable that overwrites the sysroot
-* `rust-analyzer.featureFlags` -- a JSON object to tweak fine-grained behavior:
-   ```jsonc
-   {
-       // Show diagnostics produced by rust-analyzer itself.
-       "lsp.diagnostics": true,
-       // Automatically insert `()` and `<>` when completing functions and types.
-       "completion.insertion.add-call-parenthesis": true,
-       // Enable completions like `.if`, `.match`, etc.
-       "completion.enable-postfix": true,
-       // Show notification when workspace is fully loaded
-       "notifications.workspace-loaded": true,
-       // Show error when no Cargo.toml was found
-       "notifications.cargo-toml-not-found": true,
-   }
-   ```
-
-
-## Emacs
-
-* install recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the instructions [here][emacs-lsp]
-* set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`
-* run `lsp` in a Rust buffer
-* (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys
-
-[emacs-lsp]: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode
-
-
-## Vim and NeoVim (coc-rust-analyzer)
-
-* Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at [coc.nvim][] (nodejs required)
-* Run `:CocInstall coc-rust-analyzer` to install [coc-rust-analyzer], this extension implements _most_ of the features supported in the VSCode extension:
-  - same configurations as VSCode extension, `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`, `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup` etc.
-  - same commands too, `rust-analyzer.analyzerStatus`, `rust-analyzer.startCargoWatch` etc.
-  - highlighting and inlay_hints are not implemented yet
-
-[coc.nvim]: https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim
-[coc-rust-analyzer]: https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-rust-analyzer
-
-## Vim and NeoVim (LanguageClient-neovim)
-
-* Install LanguageClient-neovim by following the instructions [here][lang-client-neovim]
-  - The github project wiki has extra tips on configuration
-
-* Configure by adding this to your vim/neovim config file (replacing the existing rust specific line if it exists):
-
-```vim
-let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
-\ 'rust': ['ra_lsp_server'],
-\ }
-```
-
-[lang-client-neovim]: https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim
-
-## NeoVim (nvim-lsp)
-
-NeoVim 0.5 (not yet released) has built in language server support. For a quick start configuration
-of rust-analyzer, use [neovim/nvim-lsp](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp#rust_analyzer).
-Once `neovim/nvim-lsp` is installed, use `lua require'nvim_lsp'.rust_analyzer.setup({})` in your `init.vim`.
-
-
-## Sublime Text 3
-
-Prequisites:
-
-`LSP` package.
-
-Installation:
-
-* Invoke the command palette with <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd>
-* Type `LSP Settings` to open the LSP preferences editor
-* Add the following LSP client definition to your settings:
-
-```json
-"rust-analyzer": {
-    "command": ["ra_lsp_server"],
-    "languageId": "rust",
-    "scopes": ["source.rust"],
-    "syntaxes": [
-        "Packages/Rust/Rust.sublime-syntax",
-        "Packages/Rust Enhanced/RustEnhanced.sublime-syntax"
-    ],
-    "initializationOptions": {
-      "featureFlags": {
-      }
-    },
-}
-```
-
-* You can now invoke the command palette and type LSP enable to locally/globally enable the rust-analyzer LSP (type LSP enable, then choose either locally or globally, then select rust-analyzer)
-
-
-<!-- Update links to this header when changing it! -->
-### Setting up the `PATH` variable
-
-On Unix systems, `rustup` adds `~/.cargo/bin` to `PATH` by modifying the shell's
-startup file. Depending on your configuration, your Desktop Environment might not
-actually load it. If you find that `rust-analyzer` only runs when starting the
-editor from the terminal, you will have to set up your `PATH` variable manually.
-
-There are a couple of ways to do that:
-
-- for Code, set `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath` to `~/.cargo/bin` (the `~` is
-  automatically resolved by the extension)
-- copy the binary to a location that is already in `PATH`, e.g. `/usr/local/bin`
-- on Linux, use PAM to configure the `PATH` variable, by e.g. putting
-  `PATH DEFAULT=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:@{HOME}/.cargo/bin:@{HOME}/.local/bin`
-  in your `~/.pam_environment` file; note that this might interfere with other
-  defaults set by the system administrator via `/etc/environment`.

+= User Manual

+
+
+// Master copy of this document lives in the https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer repository
+
+At it's core, rust-analyzer is a *library* for semantic analysis of the Rust code as it changes over time.
+This manual focuses on a specific usage of the library -- the implementation of
+https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/[Language Server Protocol].
+LSP allows various code editors, like VS Code, Emacs or Vim, to implement semantic feature like completion or goto definition by talking to an external language server process.
+
+== Installation
+
+In theory, one should be able to just install the server binary and have it automatically work with any editor.
+We are not there yet, so some editor specific setup is required.
+
+=== VS Code
+
+This the best supported editor at the moment.
+rust-analyzer plugin for VS Code is maintained
+https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/tree/master/editors/code[in tree].
+
+You can install the latest release of the plugin from
+https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad.rust-analyzer[the marketplace].
+By default, the plugin will download the latest version of the server as well.
+
+image::https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36276403/74103174-a40df100-4b52-11ea-81f4-372c70797924.png[]
+
+The server binary is stored in `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer`.
+
+Note that we only support the latest version of VS Code.
+
+==== Updates
+
+The extension will be updated automatically as new versions become available.
+The server update functionality is in progress.
+For the time being, the workaround is to remove the binary from `globalStorage` and to restart the extension.
+
+==== Building From Source
+
+Alternatively, both the server and the plugin can be installed from source:
+
+[source]
+----
+$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git && cs rust-analyzer
+$ cargo xtask install
+----
+
+You'll need Cargo, nodejs and npm for this.
+To make VS Code use the freshly build server, add this to the settings:
+
+[source,json]
+----
+{ "rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath": "ra_lsp_server" }
+----
+
+Note that installing via `xtask install` does not work for VS Code Remote, instead you'll need to install the `.vsix` manually.
+
+=== Language Server Binary
+
+Other editors generally require `ra_lsp_server` binary to be in `$PATH`.
+You can download pre-build binary from
+https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/releases[relases]
+page, or you can install it from source using the following command:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+$ cargo xtask install --server
+----
+
+=== Emacs
+
+Emacs support is maintained https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/lsp-rust.el[upstream].
+
+1. Install recent version of `emacs-lsp` package by following the instructions https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode[here].
+2. Set `lsp-rust-server` to `'rust-analyzer`.
+3. Run `lsp` in a Rust buffer.
+4. (Optionally) bind commands like `lsp-rust-analyzer-join-lines`, `lsp-extend-selection` and `lsp-rust-analyzer-expand-macro` to keys.
+
+=== Vim
+
+The are several LSP client implementations for vim:
+
+==== coc-rust-analyzer
+
+1. Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at
+   https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim[coc.nvim]
+   (nodejs required)
+2. Run `:CocInstall coc-rust-analyzer` to install
+   https://github.com/fannheyward/coc-rust-analyzer[coc-rust-analyzer],
+   this extension implements _most_ of the features supported in the VSCode extension:
+   * same configurations as VSCode extension, `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`, `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup` etc.
+   * same commands too, `rust-analyzer.analyzerStatus`, `rust-analyzer.startCargoWatch` etc.
+   * highlighting and inlay_hints are not implemented yet
+
+==== LanguageClient-neovim
+
+1. Install LanguageClient-neovim by following the instructions
+   https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim[here]
+   * The github project wiki has extra tips on configuration
+
+2. Configure by adding this to your vim/neovim config file (replacing the existing rust specific line if it exists):
++
+[source,vim]
+----
+let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
+\ 'rust': ['ra_lsp_server'],
+\ }
+----
+
+==== nvim-lsp
+
+NeoVim 0.5 (not yet released) has built in language server support.
+For a quick start configuration of rust-analyzer, use https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp#rust_analyzer[neovim/nvim-lsp].
+Once `neovim/nvim-lsp` is installed, use `lua require'nvim_lsp'.rust_analyzer.setup({})` in your `init.vim`.
+
+=== Sublime Text 3
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+`LSP` package.
+
+Installation:
+
+1. Invoke the command palette with <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd>
+2. Type `LSP Settings` to open the LSP preferences editor
+3. Add the following LSP client definition to your settings:
++
+[source,json]
+----
+"rust-analyzer": {
+    "command": ["ra_lsp_server"],
+    "languageId": "rust",
+    "scopes": ["source.rust"],
+    "syntaxes": [
+        "Packages/Rust/Rust.sublime-syntax",
+        "Packages/Rust Enhanced/RustEnhanced.sublime-syntax"
+    ],
+    "initializationOptions": {
+      "featureFlags": {
+      }
+    },
+}
+----
+
+4. You can now invoke the command palette and type LSP enable to locally/globally enable the rust-analyzer LSP (type LSP enable, then choose either locally or globally, then select rust-analyzer)
+
+== Usage
+
+See https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/docs/user/features.md[features.md].
