2016-08-22doc-rst:c-domain: ref-name of a function declarationMarkus Heiser
Add option 'name' to the "c:function:" directive. With option 'name' the ref-name of a function can be modified. E.g.:: .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request ) :name: VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS The func-name (e.g. ioctl) remains in the output but the ref-name changed from ``ioctl`` to ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS``. The index entry for this function is also changed to ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`` and the function can now referenced by:: :c:func:`VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS` Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-07-17docs: Get rid of some kernel-documentation warningsJonathan Corbet
Sphinx wants to interpret all literal blocks as being in the chosen language and complains when an attempt to parse a block fails. kernel-documentation.rst has a few blocks that are not in C; make that explicit to shut down the associated warnings. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-06-30doc-rst: flat-table directive - initial implementationMarkus Heiser
Implements the reST flat-table directive. The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with some additional features: * column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through additional columns * row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through additional rows * auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right side of that table-row. With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automaticly inserts (empty) list tables The *list tables* formats are double stage lists. Compared to the ASCII-art they migth be less comfortable for readers of the text-files. Their advantage is, that they are easy to create/modify and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningfull, because it is limited to the modified content. The initial implementation was taken from the sphkerneldoc project [1] [1] https://github.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/commits/master/scripts/site-python/linuxdoc/rstFlatTable.py Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de> [jc: fixed typos and misspellings in the docs] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
