A while ago I created a draft PR ( #1354) to improve the book. A good number of commits were done since then. I am not that familiar with git and I think now the PR is ready, so I created this PR.
A few months have passed and I didn't find the time to add the missing information to explain the whole process of how to create the bindings for pango. The overhaul contains all the information of the current version and adds some to it. I believe this version can already be merged and is already an improvement.
To recap, the improvements include:

  • Restructuring the book a little bit to make it easier to find information
  • Adding description on what gir is and when it can be used
  • Explanation on how to set up the project folder
  • Explanation on how to find .gir files
  • Mentioning of various other foot guns that a beginner might encounter

A native speaker should probably proofread it.

- `normal`: generates another crate for a layer on top of these unsafe (sys) bindings which makes them safe for use in general Rust.

- `not_bound`: allows you to see the detected types/methods that will not be generated for whatever reasons.

The not_bound mode was dropped from the docs, it should be still mentioned as it is pretty useful when you are working on a new library bindings or if the library changes a lot.

It is mentioned in lines 15 & 16 in the same file. Do you want me to rephrase it?

I had a quick look for spelling, not for content.

Not specific to this PR, but I would recommend adding a newline after each sentence.
It doesn't change the output, but makes diffs much more readable in my opinion.

No problem. I understand that it was a lot to read and go through and probably not of the highest priority
