So far so good!!

Before you continue though, since there's going to be a flat structure for this guide, I suggest renaming the files so they have this format xx-filename.rst starting from 01-source-file-and-compilation.

btw I ported originally the reference manual by downloading the pages from the wiki as docbook, converting it with pandoc, and then doing manual fixup (and a python script that split ## sections in their own files). not sure if it is useful here, since you maybe want to do some changes and improvements along the way.

@halfmexican don't worry, I've got this one. It's been pending for a while. I wanna get it all done this weekend while I have since I have free time.

I suggest looking at this issue. It would be make the docs experience a lot more pleasant for people learning GTK 4!: #59
