Description
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html#single_http_https_server has the following note:
The use of the ssl directive in modern versions is thus discouraged.
The ssl directive was removed in 1.25.1 and is not present in any of the supported versions. It feels like "discouraged" is not strong enough to reflect that.
The relevant paragraph starts with "Prior to 0.7.14", so I doubt this note has any value except historical nowadays.

Research direction
Start with the linked “Configuring HTTPS servers” page and locate the paragraph beginning “Prior to 0.7.14.” Check how that page is sourced in the nginx.org documentation, then update the note so it accurately reflects that the ssl directive is removed from supported versions, or remove the obsolete historical text. Verify the rendered page afterward.
