maint: delete redundant /quantecon-textbook/ page#200
Merged
Conversation
The /quantecon-textbook/ page listed 'forthcoming' textbooks that have since been published and are now properly showcased on /books/. The page had menu_item: false (not in nav) and no other source file links to it, so it can be removed cleanly. Closes #131

Pull request overview
This PR removes the legacy pages/textbook.md Jekyll page, retiring the /quantecon-textbook/ route in favor of the existing books content on the main site. In the broader codebase, this is a content-cleanup change affecting one public permalink.
Changes:
- Deletes the obsolete
pages/textbook.mdsource file. - Removes the generated
/quantecon-textbook/page from the site build. - Leaves
/books/as the current canonical destination for book-related content.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)
pages/textbook.md:1
- Removing this page outright will turn the long-lived public URL
/quantecon-textbook/into a 404. Even if the repo no longer links to it internally, external links, search indexes, and old bookmarks can still hit this path, and the site already hasjekyll-redirect-fromenabled plus examples of redirect pages. Keeping the URL as a redirect to/books/would avoid breaking existing traffic.

Summary
Deletes
pages/textbook.md, which served the now-redundant/quantecon-textbook/URL.Why it's safe to remove
/books/menu_item: false— it was never in the navigation/quantecon-textbook/— verified by searching all_layouts/,_includes/,pages/, and_posts//books/page and homepage books section already serve this purposeWhat was there
The page advertised upcoming hardcopy textbooks (Dynamic Programming Vols I & II, Macroeconomic Dynamics, ML & Econometrics) — content that is no longer "forthcoming" and is better represented through the existing books collection.
Closes #131
