Martin Atkins 127cbeeda2 website: Additional information about "dynamic" blocks
Based on some common questions and feedback since the v0.12.0 release,
here we add some small additional content to the documentation for
"dynamic" blocks, covering how to access the keys of the collection being
iterated over and how to fold multiple collections into a single one to
achieve the effect of a nested iteration.

Martin Atkins 36bb9b462c website: "for" expression examples to use canonical formatting
The "terraform fmt" command produces a different canonical form than we
were showing in our examples here. Our examples should always reflect the
conventions applied by "terraform fmt" to avoid confusion.

(This particular decision is a pragmatic one because the formatter design
needs to use the same rules for the colon in the ? : conditional operator
as for the colon in "for" expressions.)

Martin Atkins 0a9959cbe4 website: References to Resource Attributes
Since references to attributes of resources are by far the most common
reference type, and the mapping of resource type config to the attributes
is not always obvious, here we give some real examples of patterns for
accessing different configuration constructs within resource blocks along
with the resource type's exported attributes.

Since we don't have any real examples of labelled nested blocks yet (the
current SDK doesn't support them) I've included a hypothetical example for
now just to establish the patterns around them in preparation for
beginning to introduce them as we roll out this feature in the SDK.

Nick Fagerlund d2abdc23ac website: Structural edit of configuration language docs
This commit is a wide-ranging set of edits to the pages under
/docs/configuration. Among other things, it

- Separates style conventions out into their own page.
- Separates type constraints and conversion info into their own page.
- Conflates similar complex types a little more freely, since the distinction is
  only relevant when restricting inputs for a reusable module or resource.
- Clarifies several concepts that confused me during edits.

Martin Atkins 39579e8d0f website: revisions to the "Configuration Syntax" page and expressions
This rewrite of the "Configuration Syntax" page now gives some more detail
on the top-level structural constructs and de-emphasizes the name "HCL"
as subordinate to "the Terraform language".

It also now includes some commentary on valid identifiers and comments,
and issues around character encodings and line endings.

In addition, we now have a new "Expressions" page that replaces the old
"Interpolation Syntax" page, covering the expression language features
we inherit from HCL and how they behave in the context of Terraform.

The "Expressions" page currently links to a page about the built-in
functions which does not yet exist. This will be created in a later
commit.
