2faf814da4 docs: Point away from set -x
This is a common anti-pattern, we should try to get people to do `set -gx`.

cbc9de3663 docs: Make the lines in the code examples shorter
We should typically avoid scrolling even at max-width.

An exception here is the output of `functions` - this prints one very
long line, but it's really not important what's in there specifically,
it's just to illustrate the kind of output you'd get.

5b366b9cb5 docs/tutorial: Mention alias
This came up online - here we exclaim that fish has no aliases (which
is true), but then in the main docs we explain that you can use
`alias` to make something (which is also true).

Add a foot note explaining the apparent contradiction.

5e5b9d75e6 docs: Fix background color for interactive examples
For the few weird code blocks where default highlighting does not work,
we must add the 'highlight' class manually to get matching backgrounds.
This reuses the background color defined in pygments.css.

2740473a65 docs: use parsed-literal to highlight interactive examples
There are a few code blocks where the default highlighting does not
work and the documentation looks bad as a result. Usually this happens
when we are demonstrating an important interactive feature, such as
autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, or tab completion.

The pygments highlighter was not designed for code samples like these.
But it is important to show the behavior clearly in the docs. I am
attempting to make these weird examples look as much like the "normal"
code blocks as possible.

It's weird to force people to go to the separate pages, at least give
some simple examples here and link to the tutorial.

d9b0a3b272 Revert "docs/tutorial: Fix duplicate sentence"
This reverts commit 9d1129f14c.

Probably a bad rebase, at the time this appeared on master the sentence was already removed.

1634a3b15c docs: don't quote code snippets
The added single quotes don't look great in HTML, and it's already clear
that the monospaced text is to be interpreted literally.

3cf1de1b7f Suggest string split -n for separating on spaces.
At least on some versions/systems, pkg-config outputs a trailing
space. Since the usually-desired behavior isn't to have a blank argument,
recommend using `string split -n` instead of `string split`.

Fixes #6836.

fd45877848 docs: Link builtins
When we say "the XYZ command/builtin", we should typically include a
link. The exceptions are

- In the documentation for that command - no need to link to ulimit in
  the ulimit page
- When we've already linked before - not every thing needs to be
  clickable, or clicking it will cause the browser to mark fifty words
  as visited. This is roughly what wikipedia does for crosslinks.

b5cbdc623d docs/tutorial: Replace coloring markup
This used to use doxygen's html blocks, which don't have a *direct*
equivalent in sphinx in code blocks.

Instead of adding this to the pygments highlighter, let's just use
some roles.

It's a teensy bit awkward as we then use block styling, but we want to
add more of our own styling anyway, so we can presumably get this
somehow, and these html tags look awkward and confuse people.

Fix #6640
