Documentation Feedback

[DrRuhe]

So, the documentation has left me a bit puzzled.
Chapter 3 introduces take_while in the context of sequences, without explaining it.
I assumed it meant the given parser would be applied many times.
Therefore I thought take_while0("abc") would parse repeating "abc".

Therefore I believe that the Docs should:

• introduce many0() as the way to repeatedly apply parsers.
• mention take_while using its argument as a "predicate" that determines if the next character is valid.
• In the docs for take_while the term "pattern" is used, however, I felt that the terminology pattern implies a string literal to be used as a parser and as a set of possible characters.

Let me know what you think :)

On a side note, the "Ideas" discussions is probably not the best place to put this, but there is no "Feedback" or "General Discussion" section, so here we are.

Thanks for looking through the tutorial and providing feedback!

The way forward with this feedback is not yet clear. Chapter 3 didn't explain what the code was doing as it was building off of the example from Chapter 2 which introduced take_while1

Also, many0 and repetition are later covered in Chapter 6.
