2016-10-26Merge branch 'mauro-books' into docs-nextJonathan Corbet149-5546/+6048
Merge Mauro's massive patch series creating the process and admin-guide books. I think there's a lot of stuff to clean up here, but there's no point in holding things up for that. Mauro sez: This patch series continues the efforts of converting the Linux Kernel documentation to Sphinx. It contains text to ReST conversion of several files under Documentation, and a few ones under the main dir (README, REPORTING-BUGS). All patches on this series can be found on my development tree: https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=lkml-books-v2 The Kernel docs html output after this series can be seen at: https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/kernel_docs/

2016-10-24README: add a new README file, pointing to the Documentation/Mauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+18
As we moved the real README file to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst, let's add a replacement, pointing to it, and giving the main directions about documentation. In the future, perhaps it would be worth to move the contents of Documentation/00-Index into this README. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2016-10-24doc: re-add CodingStyle and SubmittingPatchesMauro Carvalho Chehab2-0/+2
Those files got moved to Documentation/process, but as they're very well known files, add pointers to their new locations. PS.: I opted to not merge this patch with the previous one in order to make the diff of the previous one more consistent, as it will show only renames. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2016-10-24docs: fix locations of several documents that got movedMauro Carvalho Chehab103-278/+280

2016-10-24README: convert it to ReST markupMauro Carvalho Chehab1-47/+58

2016-10-24Documentation/unicode.txt: convert it to ReST markupMauro Carvalho Chehab1-4/+18
Probably, unicode is something that we might remove from the docs, as all modern systems support it. Yet, this chapter is fun, as it mentions support for the Klington fictional charset ;) On the other hand, I bet all other OS user manuals explicit mention unicode support. So, convert it to ReST and include it at the user's book. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
