Inconsistancies in documentation

[petrisch]

When dealing with the german translation, I found a few things that are inconsistent even in the english version.

in types_of_data we talk about floats in the first section.
Later the term is decimals. From help into decimals I can see, that it's been used quite as a synonym. So I think we could just use decimal and later explain that it's also a float, would that be ok?

Another thing is, that in environement.md are quite a few links to the html file instead of the .md file.
Is that on purpose or could it be cleaned up?

The preferred way for VuePress is to use relative links to the markdown files. e.g. https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io/pull/388/files. Feel free to open a PR

Looks like PR #1099 fixed the html links to md.

What's still open about floats vs decimals? How do we want to improve that?

https://www.nushell.sh/book/types_of_data.html

Nushell seems to word it float only.

1.2 | describe
# => float

help into float | find decim
# => │ 0 │ Search terms: convert, number, floating, decimal │

In the book it makes sense to also mention decimal for discoverability even without float familiarity. With that in mind, I didn't see an improvement on the current docs.

(I don't like the mixed title and broken anchor between md while it works website on website (with and without minus for slash) but I don't see an obvious better alternative.)

So I suggest closing this as resolved.
