This commit merges the RPC introduction section (h4), "JSON-RPC &
bitcoin-cli" into the currently-empty RPC section (h3). To do this, it
splits the contents of the file `_includes/ref_core_rpc_intro.md` into
the new files `_includes/ref/bitcoin-core/api-intro.md` and
`_includes/ref/bitcoin-core/rpcs/intro.md`
* All previously-documented RPCs have had their text completely
rewritten.
* All new RPCs and changed RPCs in Bitcoin Core 0.10.0 have been
documented, except for hidden RPCs.
* A new RPC "Quick Reference" section has been added to make finding the
right RPC easier.
* A "See Also" subsection has been added to the end of every RPC
pointing to other relevant information.
* All previous examples in the RPC section have been re-run and updated
as necessary.
* Syntax highlighting has been added wherever possible.
* Hash byte order has been specified as RPC byte order everywhere it's
used in RPCs.
Adds to the devel reference page detailed documentation on the following
messages: block, getblocks, getdata, getheaders, headers, inv, mempool,
merkleblock, notfound, and tx.
Adds to the devel examples page an example of requesting and parsing a
merkleblock message.
Adds to the devel docs overview pages links to the above two new
P2P sections.
Tweaks the autocrossref plugin ignore pattern to not crossref in the
middle of a GIF image name; this allows the inclusion of animated GIFs.
* Add a short subsection about the different byte orders used with
hashes in Bitcoin Core and other software.
* Re-word some text in other sections to mention the byte order
differences
This commit created based on comments from @SergioDemianLerner (thanks!)
Move existing "regtest / testnet" texts to the new subsection and link to it
Move Bitcoin Core setup instructions in devel-examples
Add a consistent introduction for devel-(guide/ref/examples)
Fix autocrossref.rb to not add links inside {% highlight %} code blocks
* Add new icons for Developer Guide and Developer Examples so we don't
keep reusing the book icon.
* Update payment protocol links to point to developer examples when
appropriate.
* Add new Developer Examples page
* Add a transaction tutorial describing in detail how to make various
different transactions.
* Add a new "multicode" CSS class to allow combination of consecutive
code blocks into a single code block. This lets us use pygments
highlighting for multiple different types of code within the same
aparent block of code.
* Get autocrossref to ignore code blocks so we don't need to endcrossref
every time we encounter a code block. This makes the source much more
readable and maintainable.
**Suggested by @cbeams:**
_includes/ref_block_chain.md:
* Mention that coinbase is the first transaction in a block.
**Suggested by @gmaxwell:**
_includes/ref_core_rpcs-abcdefg.md:
* Mention that you need to unlock your wallet when you run out of
keys in the keypool.
* Remove erroneous assertion that txindex=1 would allow
`getreceivedbyaddress` to check balances of addresses not
belonging to this wallet.
_includes/ref_transactions.md:
* Clarify that OP_RETURN scripts aren't usually executed because
they always return false.
en/developer-reference.md
* Add a warning about using block chain or mempool data in
executable context.
_includes/guide_wallets.md:
* Fix formula given for normal child key derivation to state that public
keys must also be provided to the HMAC hash function. This required
updating both text and images.
* Add one-paragraph warning about ancestor key compromise when the
ancestor extended public key is compromised along with a descended
private key. Update img/dev/en-hd-private-parent-to-private-child.*
to help illustrate this warning.
en/developer-reference.md:
* Remove %include% of previously-removed file which caused new versions
of Jekyll to die.
Thanks also (in alphabetical order) to @cbeams, @mikehearn, and
@tgeller, among others.
