Documentation: use a source-read extension for the index link boilerplate

2026-01-23T18:59:34+00:00

The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't. For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst, but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a ".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html builds. This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the root document. Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py. For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

2019-07-08T17:22:56+00:00

While this contains some uAPI stuff, it was intended to be read by a kernel doc. So, let's not move it to a different dir, but, instead, just add it to the driver-api bookset. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe

docs: infiniband: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-25T13:23:09+00:00

The InfiniBand docs are plain text with no markups. So, all we needed to do were to add the title markups and some markup sequences in order to properly parse tables, lists and literal blocks. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe
