The `optionsDocBook` function is deprecated in nixpkgs since nixos-23.11. This commit updates the manual and manpages to use commonmark formatted documentation instead of the deprecated docbook format.

How do I install packages from Nixpkgs unstable?
If you are using a stable version of Nixpkgs but would like to install some particular packages from Nixpkgs unstable -- or some other channel -- then you can import the unstable Nixpkgs and refer to its packages within your configuration. Something like
{ pkgs, config, ... }:
let
pkgsUnstable = import <nixpkgs-unstable> {};
in
{
home.packages = [
pkgsUnstable.foo
];
# …
}
should work provided you have a Nix channel called nixpkgs-unstable.
You can add the nixpkgs-unstable channel by running
$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable nixpkgs-unstable
$ nix-channel --update
Note, the package will not be affected by any package overrides, overlays, etc.
