You probably want this page for str:

http://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/primitive.str.html

It's unfortunate that most of the links navigate you to the less useful doc.

I'm getting bizarre rendering errors in chrome for whatever character prefixes "self" in all those (I assume &?)

People were hitting that a few months ago, is this the first time that you've visited the docs in a while? In their case it was due to a problem with the page's font file itself, and it may be that your browser still has that version of the font cached. Maybe try a force-refresh?

Hmmm. Force refresh did nothing. It's possible I have Source Code Pro like the other commenter suggests. Dunno

If you have an old version of "Source Code Pro" on your computer, it will WRECK that page in a lot of fun and interesting ways.

You can either remove "Source Code Pro" from your box, or use Tampermonkey / Greasemonkey to remove it from the markup.
