Revision 7b83eacb17e69b0605c785960ab94c0d69f2fedd authored by Markus Kurtz on 02 October 2023, 11:16:02 UTC, committed by GitHub on 02 October 2023, 11:16:02 UTC
Rationale: currently, the Markdown documentation specifies the necessary
indent for code blocks and lists only. As there are people out there,
who indent their lines by only two spaces (or whatever amount)
documenting the indent could help in finding the reason for malformed
Markdown. See #45622. For an example where this problem occurred see
https://github.com/oscar-system/Oscar.jl/pull/1369#discussion_r893488230.

A wrapper type used in `Union{Some{T}, Nothing}` to distinguish between the absence
of a value ([`nothing`](@ref)) and the presence of a `nothing` value (i.e. `Some(nothing)`).

Use [`something`](@ref) to access the value wrapped by a `Some` object.

Return the first value in the arguments which is not equal to [`nothing`](@ref),
