Summary

Deletes pages/textbook.md, which served the now-redundant /quantecon-textbook/ URL.

Why it's safe to remove

  • The page listed "forthcoming" textbooks that have since been published and are properly showcased on /books/
  • menu_item: false — it was never in the navigation
  • No other source file links to /quantecon-textbook/ — verified by searching all _layouts/, _includes/, pages/, and _posts/
  • The /books/ page and homepage books section already serve this purpose

What 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

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.md source 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 has jekyll-redirect-from enabled plus examples of redirect pages. Keeping the URL as a redirect to /books/ would avoid breaking existing traffic.
