Subject: [PATCH v2 11/79] docs: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2019 10:27:00 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6ada06354f0d4800321d75f6a9b1d020c41a4cb9.1555938375.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1555938375.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
