2016-07-20Revert "doc/sphinx: Enable keep_warnings"Jonathan Corbet
This reverts commit 47d6d752b9e20dbe8a2acd22e887be81a6f39de9. Commit f42ddca7bebc (doc-rst: kernel-doc directive, fix state machine reporter) from Marcus Heiser provides a better fix, so this configuration change is no longer needed.
2016-07-19doc/sphinx: Enable keep_warningsDaniel Vetter
Unfortunately warnings generated after parsing in sphinx can end up with entirely bogus files and line numbers as sources. Strangely for outright errors this is not a problem. Trying to convert warnings to errors also doesn't fix it. The only way to get useful output out of sphinx to be able to root cause the error seems to be enabling keep_warnings, which inserts a System Message into the actual output. Not pretty at all, but I don't really want to fix up core rst/sphinx code, and this gets the job done meanwhile.

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>
2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: set version and release properlyJani Nikula
Read the version and release from the top level Makefile (for use when Sphinx is invoked directly, by e.g. Read the Docs), but override them via Sphinx command line arguments in a normal documentation build. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: configure the kernel-doc extensionJani Nikula
Tell Sphinx where to find the extension, and pass on the kernel src tree and kernel-doc paths to the extension. With this, any .rst files under Documentation may contain the kernel-doc rst directive to include kernel-doc documentation from any source file. While building, it may be handy to pass kernel-doc extension configuration on the command line. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS="-D kerneldoc_verbosity=0" htmldocs' silences all stderr output from kernel-doc when the kernel-doc exit code is 0. (The stderr will be logged unconditionally when the exit code is non-zero.) Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: add basic working Sphinx configuration and buildJani Nikula
Add basic configuration and makefile to build documentation from any .rst files under Documentation using Sphinx. For starters, there's just the placeholder index.rst. At the top level Makefile, hook Sphinx documentation targets alongside (but independent of) the DocBook toolchain, having both be run on the various 'make *docs' targets. All Sphinx processing is placed into Documentation/Makefile.sphinx. Both that and the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile are now expected to handle all the documentation targets, explicitly ignoring them if they're not relevant for that particular toolchain. The changes to the existing DocBook Makefile are kept minimal. There is graceful handling of missing Sphinx and rst2pdf (which is needed for pdf output) by checking for the tool and python module, respectively, with informative messages to the user. If the Read the Docs theme (sphinx_rtd_theme) is available, use it, but otherwise gracefully fall back to the Sphinx default theme, with an informative message to the user, and slightly less pretty HTML output. Sphinx can now handle htmldocs, pdfdocs (if rst2pdf is available), epubdocs and xmldocs targets. The output documents are written into per output type subdirectories under Documentation/output. Finally, you can pass options to sphinx-build using the SPHINXBUILD make variable. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs' for more verbose output from Sphinx. This is based on the original work by Jonathan Corbet, but he probably wouldn't recognize this as his own anymore. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
