New documentation site: https://www.scryer.pl

Hello Scryer Prolog users,

Some of you may already know, but we've been working on bringing the documentation of the Prolog system. We now think it is ready to be useful. Go to https://www.scryer.pl and try it!

Some features of the page:

• Automatic documentation for all predicates in all libraries currently on Scryer. Most important libraries are also manually documented, with module and predicate descriptions that may include code samples.
• Descriptions are written using Djot as a markup language (using library Djota). This a language similar to Markdown but less chaotic and more expressive. It doesn't impact readability on source code.
• Every module has a link to the original source code of the module
• Search functionality for predicate names.
• Small introduction to Scryer Prolog and Prolog that serves as a starting point for new users.

All this is created with DocLog. A tool I designed with Scryer in mind, but it should be useful for other systems and external libraries.

I hope you'll find this website useful!

Greetings,
Adrián

Awesome work Adrián, thank you a lot!

The new page already made it to the HN frontpage and garnered interesting discussion:

Congratulations!

The page has help up very well! May I suggest linking to it from the README, so that this is the official Scryer homepage?

I have filed #1737 as one suggestion to do it. Maybe there is also a better or additional way to do it, for example by configuring the page as one of the project settings?
