2017-07-17sphinx.rst: better organize the documentation about PDF buildMauro Carvalho Chehab
Instead of having it on just one note, add a separate section. This way, we could later improve it, providing a better guide about the needed steps for PDF builds. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2017-07-17sphinx.rst: fix unknown referenceMauro Carvalho Chehab
There's no "Sphinx C Domain" reference at the Kernel documentation. So, don't use references for it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-07-17sphinx.rst: explain the usage of virtual environmentMauro Carvalho Chehab
As the Sphinx build seems very fragile, specially for PDF output, add a notice about how to use it on a virtual environment. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-07-17docs-rst: move Sphinx install instructions to sphinx.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab
The toolchain used by Sphinx is somewhat complex, and installing it should be part of the doc-guide. Move it out of changes.rst. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2017-03-09docs-rst: automatically convert Graphviz and SVG imagesMarkus Heiser
This patch brings scalable figure, image handling and a concept to embed *render* markups: * DOT (http://www.graphviz.org) * SVG For image handling use the 'image' replacement:: .. kernel-image:: svg_image.svg :alt: simple SVG image For figure handling use the 'figure' replacement:: .. kernel-figure:: svg_image.svg :alt: simple SVG image SVG image example Embed *render* markups (or languages) like Graphviz's **DOT** is provided by the *render* directive.:: .. kernel-render:: DOT :alt: foobar digraph :caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code. digraph foo { "bar" -> "baz"; } The *render* directive is a concept to integrate *render* markups and languages, yet supported markups: * DOT: render embedded Graphviz's **DOT** * SVG: render embedded Scalable Vector Graphics (**SVG**) Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Tested-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Tested-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> (v2 - v5) Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de> (v1, v6) Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-03-09doc: Explain light-handed markup preference a bit betterDaniel Vetter
We're still pretty far away from anything like a consensus, but there's clearly a lot of people who prefer an as-light as possible approach to converting existing .txt files to .rst. Make sure this is properly taken into account and clear. Motivated by discussions with Peter and Christoph and others.

2016-11-19docs-rst: doc-guide: split the kernel-documentation.rst contentsMauro Carvalho Chehab
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>
