Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "There's not a huge amount of activity in the docs tree this time around, but a few significant changes even so: - A complete rewriting of the top-level index.rst file, which mostly reflects itself in a redone top page in the HTML-rendered docs.

docs: reconfigure the HTML left column

2022-09-29T18:55:06+00:00

Use the html_sidebars directive to get a more useful set of links in the left column. Unfortunately, this is a no-op with the default RTD theme, but others observe it.

docs/conf.py: Respect env variable SPHINX_IMGMATH

2022-09-27T19:21:43+00:00

On some distros with coarse-grained packaging policy, dvipng is installed along with latex. In such cases, math rendering will use imgmath by default. It is possible to override the choice by specifying the option string of "-D html_math_renderer='mathjax'" to sphinx-build (Sphinx >= 1.8). To provide developers an easier-to-use knob, add code for an env variable "SPHINX_IMGMATH" which overrides the automatic choice of math renderer for html docs.

docs/conf.py: Treat mathjax as fallback math renderer

2022-09-27T19:21:43+00:00

Currently, math expressions using the "math::" directive or the ":math:" role of Sphinx need the imgmath extension for proper rendering in html and epub builds. imgmath requires dvipng (and latex). Otherwise, "make htmldocs" will complain of missing commands. As a matter of fact, the mathjax extension is loaded by default since Sphinx v1.8 and it is good enough for html docs without any dependency on texlive packages. Stop loading the imgmath extension for html docs unless requirements for imgmath are met. To find out whether required commands are available, add a helper find_command(), which is a wrapper of shutil.which(). For epub docs, keep the same behavior of always loading imgmath.

docs/conf.py: Cope with removal of language=None in Sphinx 5.0.0

2022-06-01T15:26:05+00:00

One of the changes in Sphinx 5.0.0 [1] says [sic]: 5.0.0 final - #10474: language does not accept None as it value. The default value of language becomes to 'en' now. [1]: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html#release-5-0-0-released-may-30-2022 It results in a new warning from Sphinx 5.0.0 [sic]: WARNING: Invalid configuration value found: 'language = None'. Update your configuration to a valid langauge code. Falling back to 'en' (English). Silence the warning by using 'en'. It works with all the Sphinx versions required for building kernel documentation (1.7.9 or later).

docs: pdfdocs: Pull LaTeX preamble part out of conf.py

2022-02-24T19:26:13+00:00

Quote from Jon's remark [1]: I do notice that Documentation/conf.py is getting large and unapproachable. At some future point, it might be nice to pull all of the latex stuff out into a separate file where it won't scare people who stumble into it by accident. Pull LaTeX preamble settings added since commit 3b4c963243b1 ("docs: conf.py: adjust the LaTeX document output") out into sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty. It will be copied to the build directory by the added "latex_additional_files" setting in conf.py. As a bonus, LaTeX/TeX code can be maintained without escaping backslashes. To compensate the loss of change history in sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty, here is a list of changes made in conf.py: - f7ebe6b76940 ("docs: Activate exCJK only in CJK chapters") - 0afd4df0d16a ("docs: pdfdocs: Prevent column squeezing by tabulary") - 659653c9e546 ("docs: pdfdocs: Refactor config for CJK document") - e291ff6f5a03 ("docs: pdfdocs: Add CJK-language-specific font settings") - 7eb368cc319b ("docs: pdfdocs: Choose Serif font as CJK mainfont if possible") - 35382965bdd2 ("docs: pdfdocs: Preserve inter-phrase space in Korean translations") - 77abc2c230b1 ("docs: pdfdocs: One-half spacing for CJK translations") - 788d28a25799 ("docs: pdfdocs: Permit AutoFakeSlant for CJK fonts") - 29ac9822358f ("docs: pdfdocs: Teach xeCJK about character classes of quotation marks") - 7c5c18bdb656 ("docs: pdfdocs: Fix typo in CJK-language specific font settings") - aa872e0647dc ("docs: pdfdocs: Adjust \headheight for fancyhdr") - 8716ef413aa5 ("docs: pdfdocs: Tweak width params of TOC") - 66939df53948 ("docs: pdfdocs: Switch default CJK font to KR variants") - 7b686a2ea1e4 ("docs: pdfdocs: Enable CJKspace in TOC for Korean titles") - 5d9158e3c762 ("docs/translations: Skip CJK contents if suitable fonts not found") - b774cc46313b ("docs: pdfdocs: Move CJK monospace font setting to main conf.py") [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/87zgmr66cn.fsf@meer.lwn.net/ Suggested-by: Jonathan Corbet Signed-off-by: Akira Yokosawa Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/aaa9dca1-27c0-c414-77f3-c5587db0cc5b@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: pdfdocs: Move CJK monospace font setting to main conf.py

2022-02-15T23:35:54+00:00

As LaTeX macros for CJK font settings can have Latin-script font settings as well, settings under Documentation/translations/ can be moved to the main conf.py. By this change, translations.pdf built by top-level "make pdfdocs" can have properly aligned ascii-art diagrams except for Korean ones. For the reason of remaining misalignment in Korean diagrams, see changelog of commit a90dad8f610a ("docs: pdfdocs: Add conf.py local to translations for ascii-art alignment").

docs/translations: Skip CJK contents if suitable fonts not found

2022-02-15T23:35:54+00:00

On systems without "Noto Sans CJK" fonts, CJK chapters in translations.pdf are full of "TOFU" boxes, with a long build time and a large log file containing lots of missing-font warnings. Avoid such waste of time and resources by skipping CJK chapters when CJK fonts are not available. To skip whole chapters, change the definition of \kerneldocBegin{SC|TC|KR|JP} commands so that they can have an argument to be ignored. This works as far as the argument (#1) is not used in the command. In place of skipped contents, put a note on skipped contents at the beginning of the PDF. Change the call sites in index.rst of CJK translations accordingly. When CJK fonts are available, existing command definitions with no argument just work. LaTeX engine will see additional pairs of "{" and "}", which add a level of grouping without having any effect on typesetting.

docs: pdfdocs: Enable CJKspace in TOC for Korean titles

2022-02-15T23:35:53+00:00

Korean (Hangul) titles in Table of Contents of translations.pdf don't have inter-phrase spaces. This is because the CJKspace option of xeCJK is disabled by default. Restore the spaces by enabling the option at the beginning of every document and disable it in the \kerneldocBegin{SC|TC|JP} commands.
