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.

2016-11-30docs-rst: parse-headers.pl: cleanup the documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab
Keeping both rst and in-file documentation in sync can be harsh. So, simplify the script's internal documntation to a bare minimum, and add a mention to the ReST file with its full documentation. This way, a quick help is still available at the command line, while the complete one is maintained at the ReST format. As we won't be using pad2rst anymore, do a cleanup at the ReST file.

2016-11-19parse-headers.rst: add an introduction to the man pageMauro Carvalho Chehab
The pod2rst tool generated a man page for parse-headers.pl script, but it is better to put it into some context. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-11-19parse-headers.pl: add documentation for this scriptMauro Carvalho Chehab

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>
