- Set their view boxes to the original height and width, so they are guaranteed to present correctly. - For Figure 17-02, use the trick of adding a hidden node and hidden arrow to it in “Task 2” to align the two boxes.
- Create a section (which will be deleted or at least reintegrated once all is said and done) to hold content pulled out of other sections for the sake of clearer flow and understanding. - Pull “advanced” material from 17.00, 17.01, and 17.02 into the holding section and start reorganizing their content to account for shifting around materials.
In addition to the baseline changes, skip over non-directory code where directories are needed to deal with things like `.DS_Store` files. Also add a bunch of context on error causes from `std::io::Error` because it was *impossible* to figure out exactly what the source of those were.
Upgrade to Rust 1.81
Use immutable borrow of `TcpStream` when creating `BufReader`
Add `cargo init` usage suggestion to 1.3
Update build instructions: include mdbook plugins
The `block_on` name is what both Tokio and smol use, but it is a bit obscure from the point of view of introducing this material. `run` says much more clearly what it does *for the level we care about here*, I think.
These make up *most* of the rest of the edits I caught while rereading which are not *major structural revisions*, along with some of the bits required for those major structural revisions.
This does *not* yet incorporate any of the relevant feedback from Carol on this, so a couple spots are still pretty messy.
Along with the wording and phrasing-level edits, pull out a fair bit of material for the “advanced” section at the end, specifically the details of what `Stream` and `StreamExt` actually do.
Bonus: fix some style guide issues, too! Co-authored-by: Carol (Nichols || Goulding) <carol.nichols@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: James Munns <james@onevariable.com> Co-authored-by: Tim McNamara <paperless@timmcnamara.co.nz>

I accidentally copied these in when pulling in the `trpl-note` mdbook preprocessor many months ago, and we did not notice amidst the many other changes in that PR!

@makarichevss thanks, but we are not looking for general public feedback at present. This chapter is still very much a work in progress. |

This PR is the home of the next set of edits targeting #3909. It is not really intended for public review, but rather as an easy place for @carols10cents and me to be able to discuss or coordinate if/as makes sense to us. Thanks!
This has nearly all the review comments from #3909 integrated. In particular, beyond clarifications and stylistic improvements based on review comments and my own detailed edit, it also includes:
join,race, and so on have been combined. All the original material is still there, just rearranged (and much clarified).As of the time I am actually opening this PR, the remaining tasks are:
I expect to finish those up by midway through next week. 🎉
