2016-10-24docs-rst: add documents to development-processMauro Carvalho Chehab1-652/+0
Add several documents to the development-process ReST book. As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those documents on their original place. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>
2016-09-20docs: Clean up bare :: linesJonathan Corbet1-9/+3
Mauro's patch set introduced some bare :: lines; these can be represented by a double colon at the end of the preceding text line. The result looks a little less weird and is less verbose. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <[email protected]>
2016-09-20Documentation/HOWTO: adjust external link referencesMauro Carvalho Chehab1-20/+17
- A few link references were missing http:// - Several sites are now redirecting to https protocol. On such cases, just use the https URL. NOTE: all URLs were checked and they're pointing to the right places. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <[email protected]>
2016-09-20Documentation/HOWTO: improve some markups to make it visually betterMauro Carvalho Chehab1-20/+16
Do a series of minor improvements at the ReST output format: - Instead of using the quote blocks (::) for quotes, use italics. That looks nicer on epub (and html) output, as no scroll bar will be added. Also, it will adjust line breaks on the text automatically. - Add a missing reference to SubmittingPatches.rst and use **foo** instead of _foo_. - use bold for "The Perfect Patch" by removing a newline.

2016-09-20Documentation/HOWTO: update information about generating documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-6/+22

2016-09-20Documentation/HOWTO: add cross-references to other documentsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-9/+9
Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation. It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file. We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo directory.

2016-09-20Documentation/HOWTO: convert to ReST notationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-4/+49
This document is almost compliant with ReST notation, but some small adjustments are needed to make it parse properly by Sphinx (mostly, add blank lines where needed). Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <[email protected]>

2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock1-3/+3
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

2010-03-07HOWTO: Updates on subsystem trees, patchwork, -next (vs. -mm)Stefan Richter1-77/+36
One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next. This is still news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there. Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make their way into subsystem trees. Remove some arbitrary links to subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS database.
