Sergio Benitez 8d3f1d65ac Reorganize and upgrade markup in site docs.
The guide is now in docs/guide. All other site assets are being migrated
to a separate repository.

The guide markup has been upgraded to take advantages of improvements in
the static site generator used to build the Rocket website.

# Quickstart
Before you can start writing a Rocket application, you'll need to install the
Rust toolchain. We recommend using [rustup](https://rustup.rs/). If you don't
have Rust installed and would like extra guidance doing so, see [Getting
Started].
## Running Examples
The absolute fastest way to start experimenting with Rocket is to clone the
Rocket repository and run the included examples in the `examples/` directory.
For instance, the following set of commands runs the `hello` example:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/rwf2/Rocket
cd Rocket
git checkout master
cd examples/hello
cargo run
```
There are numerous examples in the `examples/` directory. They can all be run
with `cargo run`.
! note
The examples' `Cargo.toml` files will point to the locally cloned `rocket`
libraries. When copying the examples for your own use, you should modify the
`Cargo.toml` files as explained in the [Getting Started] guide.
