2017-07-14kref.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab1-140/+155
Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - add a title for the document and section titles; - move authorship information to the beginning and use :Author: - mark literal blocks as such and ident them if needed.
