`render_markdown_path` renders Markdown, and also (since baff121115)
runs Jinja2 on the resulting HTML.
The `pure_markdown` flag was added in 0a99fa2fd6, and did two
things: retried the path directly in the filesystem if it wasn't found
by the Jinja2 resolver, and also skipped the subsequent Jinja2
templating step (regardless of where the content was found). In this
context, the name `pure_markdown` made some sense. The only two
callsites were the TOS and privacy policy renders, which might have
had user-supplied arbitrary paths, and we wished to handle absolute
paths in addition to ones inside `templates/`.
Unfortunately, the follow-up of 01bd55bbcb did not refactor the
logic -- it changed it, by making `pure_markdown` only do the former
of the two behaviors. Passing `pure_markdown=True` after that commit
still caused it to always run Jinja2, but allowed it to look elsewhere
in the filesystem.
This set the stage for calls, such as the one introduced in
dedea23745, which passed both a context for Jinja2, as well as
`pure_markdown=True` implying that Jinja2 was not to be used.
Split the two previous behaviors of the `pure_markdown` flag, and use
pre-existing data to control them, rather than an explicit flag. For
handling policy information which is stored at an absolute path
outside of the template root, we switch to using the template search
path if and only if the path is relative. This also closes the
potential inconsistency based on CWD when `pure_markdown=True` was
passed and the path was relative, not absolute.
Decide whether to run Jinja2 based on if a context is passed in at
all. This restores the behavior in the initial 0a99fa2fd6 where a
call to `rendar_markdown_path` could be made to just render markdown,
and not some other unmentioned and unrelated templating language as
well.
Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.

- Updates `.prettierignore` for the new directory.
- Updates any reference to the API documentation directory for
markdown files to be `api_docs/` instead of `zerver/api/`.
- Removes a reference link from `docs/documentation/api.md` that
hasn't referenced anything in the text since commit 0542c60.
- Update rendering of API documentation for new directory.
Black 23 enforces some slightly more specific rules about empty line
counts and redundant parenthesis removal, but the result is still
compatible with Black 22.
(This does not actually upgrade our Python environment to Black 23
yet.)

Removes `base_path` argument when making the markdown extension for
parameters in documentation for API endpoints.
This seems to have been originally included for API parameters that
were documented in JSON files, which is no longer in use. Now all
API endpoints in the documentation are documented in
`zerver/openapi/zulip.yaml`.
Removes `base_path` argument when making the markdown extension for
return values in documentation for API endpoints.
This seems to have been a copy and paste error in commit d2ee99a2fd
when `zerver/lib/markdown/api_return_values_generator.py` was created.
These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed
to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their
importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content,
without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.
Moves files in `templates/zerver/help/include` that are used
specifically for API documentation pages to be in a new directory:
`templates/zerver/api/include`.
Adds a boolean parameter to `render_markdown_path` to be used
for help center documentation articles.
Also moves the test file `empty.md` to the new directory since
this is the default directory for these special include macros
that are used in documentation pages.
Moves files in `templates/zerver/help/include` that are used
specifically for integrations documentation to be in a new
directory: `templates/zerver/integrations/include`.
Adds a boolean parameter to `render_markdown_path` to be used
for integrations documentation pages.
This PR adds a basic .md template that is followed by lot of /api
pages. Since we have recently done the migration work to ensure that
our REST API documentation pages for individual endpoints are almost
all identical files following a common pattern, we can now get the
payoff of deleting them all in favor of a shared template.
This removes 2000 lines of somewhat finicky configuration from the
codebase, and thus should save significant effort when documenting new
API endpoints in the future.
The markdown files for endpoints or other pages which deviate from the
standard template remain, and the docs are instead generated from
those files using the existing system.
