Description

I found the "Advanced Guides" section in the legacy react docs extremely useful - especially Higher Order Components (HOCs).

Would it be possibly to add this section once again to the new docs? (or possibly on a differnet subpage)

I think the section was extremely useful for react new comers just starting out.

Start with the legacy Higher Order Components guide linked in the issue and compare it with the new docs' Advanced Guides section. Decide where this material belongs in the new documentation, then add the HOC section there. Done means newcomers can find equivalent HOC guidance in the new React docs.
