Problem: tests: need a test for the new-style tutor.tutor, patch
9.1.1384 broke the expected positions for the signs
Solution: Update all number keys in tutor.tutor.json to match the
correct line numbers in tutor.tutor, replace tabs by spaces,
add a screen-dump test to verify it does not regress

Problem: wrong link to Chapter 2 in vim-01-beginner.tutor
Solution: Fix the link to Chapter 2, add test for links in tutor files
(Phạm Bình An)
In order to write the test, I exposed the function `s:GlobTutorials` as
`tutor#GlobTutorials` and make it also accept a `locale` argument.

Problem:
- Lesson 7.3 (Cmdline Completion) teaches an important way to discover
Nvim features. I think users should learn it before they start
configuring Nvim
- Nvim can be configured in Lua as well, but lesson 7.2 (Configuring
Nvim) only mentions init.vim. And I think Nvim is promoting Lua more
Solution:
- Move lesson 7.2 to be after lesson 7.3
- Lesson 7.2 should teach about init.lua

Problem: still some problem with the new tutors filetype plugin
Solution: refactor code to enable/disable tutor mode into
tutor#EnableInteractive() function, include a test
(Phạm Bình An)
I find it annoying that Tutor's interactive mode is always on (or debug
mode is off) even when I open a tutor file with :edit command.
I think it makes more sense to make this "interactive mode":
- Always on when it is opened with :Tutor command
- Off otherwise
For more references, see `:help` feature, it is a much better than
:Tutor, since I don't have to run `:let g:help_debug = 1` just to be able
to edit and save a help file
Therefore, I remove `g:tutor_debug`

Problem:
There are some "boilerplate" steps for new users. Although we are
constantly improving defaults and lifting patterns into core, users
eventually want to know how to start their own config, add plugins, etc.
Solution:
Add `runtime/example_init.lua` and refer to it from docs.
Problem: Some parts of the tutor are outdated.
- For example, pressing `<Tab>` after typing `:e` does not complete the
command `:edit`, but shows a completion menu with the first entry being
`:earlier`.

Problem: novice users relying on vimtutor won't know what to do when they follow the instructions and delete a couple lines and that breaks the line checker
Solution: tell the user to fix the line numbers after they're done
Problem: In line 308 the poem appears as
✅1) Roses are red,
✅2) Mud is fun,
✅3) Violets are blue,
✅4) I have a car,
✅5) Clocks tell time,
✅6) Sugar is sweet
✅7) And so are you.
where the wrong lines (2, 4, 5) are all marked as correct.
Solution: Change the tutor.json file so that initially the poem appears
as
✅1) Roses are red,
❌2) Mud is fun,
✅3) Violets are blue,
❌4) I have a car,
❌5) Clocks tell time,
❌6) Sugar is sweet
✅7) And so are you.
The method for checking whether a line is correct or not is really
simple, so I couldn't find a way to display the 6th line as initially
correct, however upon deleting lines 2, 4 and 5 the final result shows
line 6 as correct.
Problem:
Some steps in :Tutor don't work on Windows.
Solution:
Add support for `{unix:...,win:...}` format and transform the Tutor contents
depending on the platform.
Fix https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/24166
Here, it is expected that the user add the word TODO: to show how the
markdown is rendered, but the tutor is configured to expect the text
without the word TODO. This PR fixes this behavior.
Ref #7028
* fix(tutor): adjust over-80ch lines and corresponding expect file
* fix(tutor): standardise indentation and formatting, add nowrap modeline
- unifies the formatting/layout, which was a bit inconsistent,
- adds a nowrap modeline
Since the tutor uses a lot of conceals, which are included in the character
count when calculating line wrapping, lines were breaking at what looked like
odd spots, which gives a poor first impression and lowered readability.
I have adjusted some lines to be over 80ch in the source, but once they're
rendered out with conceals, they're actually under 80, so even with nowrap we
don't visually extend past 80.
fix#15088
* Display ✓ or ✗ based on the line user sees
* Add vim-tutor-mode expectations to the lines marked with an arrow.
* Fix some existing expectations to behave predictably.
vim-tutor-mode provides a mechanism to write and read interactive
tutorials in vim. It's aim is to replace the venerable vimtutor with a
more modern system.
The plugin's development is maintained at https://github.com/fmoralesc
/vim-tutor-mode
Closes#2351.
