2016-11-19docs-rst: doc-guide: split the kernel-documentation.rst contentsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+2
Having the kernel-documentation at the topmost level doesn't allow generating a separate PDF file for it. Also, makes harder to add extra contents. So, place it on a sub-dir. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2016-11-17docs-rst: fix LaTeX \DURole renewcommand with Sphinx 1.3+Mauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+5
PDF build on Kernel 4.9-rc? returns an error with Sphinx 1.3.x and Sphinx 1.4.x, when trying to solve some cross-references. The solution is to redefine the \DURole macro. However, this is redefined too late. Move such redefinition to LaTeX preamble and bind it to just the Sphinx versions where the error is known to be present.

2016-11-03Documentation/sphinx: set literal block highlight language to noneJani Nikula1-1/+1
Set the default highlight language to "none", i.e. do not try to guess the language and do automatic syntax highlighting on literal blocks. Eyeballing around the generated documentation, we don't seem to actually have a lot of literal blocks that would benefit from syntax highlighting. The C code blocks we do have are typically very short, and most of the literal blocks are things that shouldn't be highlighted (or, do not have a pygments lexer). This seems to be true for literal blocks both in the rst source files and in source code comments. Not highlighting code is never wrong, but guessing the language wrong almost invariably leads to silly or confusing highlighting. At the time of writing, admin-guide/oops-tracing.rst and admin-guide/ramoops.rst contain good examples of 1) a small C code snippet not highlighted, 2) a hex dump highligted as who knows what, 3) device tree block highlighted as C or maybe Python, 4) a terminal interaction highlighted as code in some language, and finally, 5) some C code snippets correctly identified as C. I think we're better off disabling language guessing, and going by explicitly identified languages for longer code blocks. It is still possible to enable highlighting on an rst source file basis using the highlight directive: .. higlight:: language and on a literal block basis using the code-block directive: .. code-block:: language See http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/latest/markup/code.html for details.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window. The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution, thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.

Both are meant to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.

[ERROR] pdfbuilder.py:130 list index out of range This is a known bug: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/1844 So, maybe we should just disable pdf generation from RST for good, as I suspect that maintaining it with a broken toolchain will be a big headache.

2016-06-30doc-rst: flat-table directive - initial implementationMarkus Heiser1-1/+1
Implements the reST flat-table directive. The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with some additional features: * column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through additional columns * row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through additional rows * auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right side of that table-row. With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automaticly inserts (empty) list tables The *list tables* formats are double stage lists. Compared to the ASCII-art they migth be less comfortable for readers of the text-files. Their advantage is, that they are easy to create/modify and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningfull, because it is limited to the modified content.

2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: configure the kernel-doc extensionJani Nikula1-2/+8
Tell Sphinx where to find the extension, and pass on the kernel src tree and kernel-doc paths to the extension. With this, any .rst files under Documentation may contain the kernel-doc rst directive to include kernel-doc documentation from any source file. While building, it may be handy to pass kernel-doc extension configuration on the command line. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS="-D kerneldoc_verbosity=0" htmldocs' silences all stderr output from kernel-doc when the kernel-doc exit code is 0. (The stderr will be logged unconditionally when the exit code is non-zero.) Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: add basic working Sphinx configuration and buildJani Nikula1-0/+387
Add basic configuration and makefile to build documentation from any .rst files under Documentation using Sphinx. For starters, there's just the placeholder index.rst. At the top level Makefile, hook Sphinx documentation targets alongside (but independent of) the DocBook toolchain, having both be run on the various 'make *docs' targets. All Sphinx processing is placed into Documentation/Makefile.sphinx. Both that and the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile are now expected to handle all the documentation targets, explicitly ignoring them if they're not relevant for that particular toolchain. The changes to the existing DocBook Makefile are kept minimal. There is graceful handling of missing Sphinx and rst2pdf (which is needed for pdf output) by checking for the tool and python module, respectively, with informative messages to the user. If the Read the Docs theme (sphinx_rtd_theme) is available, use it, but otherwise gracefully fall back to the Sphinx default theme, with an informative message to the user, and slightly less pretty HTML output. Sphinx can now handle htmldocs, pdfdocs (if rst2pdf is available), epubdocs and xmldocs targets. The output documents are written into per output type subdirectories under Documentation/output. Finally, you can pass options to sphinx-build using the SPHINXBUILD make variable. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs' for more verbose output from Sphinx. This is based on the original work by Jonathan Corbet, but he probably wouldn't recognize this as his own anymore. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
