Looks great! I have one small suggestion: It’s a bit difficult to find the taint analysis docs. When you click Rule writing from the left navigation, this is what appears: My first instinct would be to expand the navigation automatically when someone enters a subsection. Since we’re not planning to do that, it might be helpful to ensure that the taint analysis docs are cross-linked from more prominent pages. |

| # Taint analysis overview | ||

| Semgrep supports [taint analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taint_checking), also known as taint tracking, through taint rules. Taint rules are specified by the inclusion of `mode: taint` in your rule. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Maybe we can cross-link to and from our learning guides: https://deploy-preview-2346--semgrep-docs-prod.netlify.app/docs/writing-rules/data-flow/taint-mode/overview

This PR splits the existing taint analysis doc into two docs (one overview, one for advanced techniques). There's no new content; there are only copyedits and section reorgs plus link and anchor fixes as necessary.
