[PATCH v2 56/79] docs: Documentation/*.txt: rename all ReST files to *.rst

[PATCH v2 56/79] docs: Documentation/*.txt: rename all ReST files to *.rst

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Those files are actually at ReST format. Ok, currently, they
don't belong to any place yet at the organized book series,
but we don't want patches to break them as ReST files. So,
rename them and add a :orphan: in order to shut up warning
messages like those:

...
    Documentation/svga.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree
    Documentation/switchtec.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree
...

Later patches will move them to a better place and remove the
:orphan: markup.

Seems Mauro's point is in the future we need to touch these .rst files
in terms of ReST compatible changes.

I'm dreading DM documentation changes in the future.. despite Mauro and
Jon Corbet informing me that ReST is simple, etc.

Well, it _can_ be simple, I've seen examples of rst that were not far
from generated HTML contents. And I must give Jon credit for not
accepting that atrocious crap.

But yes, I have 0 motivation to learn or abide by rst. It simply doesn't
give me anything in return. There is no upside, only worse text files :/

Right, but these changes aren't meant for our benefit.  They are for
users who get cleaner web accessible Linux kernel docs.  Seems the
decision has been made that the users' benefit, and broader
modernization of Linux docs, outweighs the inconvenience for engineers
who maintain the content of said documentation.

This kind of thing happens a lot these days: pile on engineers, they can
take it :/

ReST is simple[1], and neither Jon or me wants to burden developers to
use complex documents all over the Kernel tree. ReST is just a way to 
make the documents with similar visual. The main advantage of ReST is
that documents can be better organized, as they will be inside some
index.rst file.

[1] Ok, as any document, you could write an easy or hard to read stuff.
The way we're using on most places is to be just a coding style with
benefits. I wrote a quick 101 guide to ReST at the end, with all you
probably need to know about it.

So, for example, in the specific case of atomic_bitops, all it takes for
it to be parsed by Sphinx is to rename it to .rst. With that, it can be
added into an index.rst file, like at Documentation/driver-api/index.rst.

The document, as is, will be displayed like this:

	https://www.infradead.org/~mchehab/rst_conversion/driver-api/atomic_bitops.html?highlight=atomic_t

And the original text file can also be seen from the output data:

	https://www.infradead.org/~mchehab/rst_conversion/_sources/driver-api/atomic_bitops.rst.txt

Yes, that's the main goal: ensure that more people will see the
documents and write less crappy code. So, overall, reducing the
time we spent with reviews of bad code.

=================================
My 101 ReST quick reference guide
=================================

Basically, a "quick" ReST guide for those that don't want to learn it
and like to have an easy to read text document would be

1) to format documents like:

	=========
	Doc Title
	=========

	foo chapter
	===========

	bar section
	-----------

	foobar sub-section
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

	foobarzeta sub-sub-section
	..........................

(the actual character used to mark the titles can be different,
provided that you use the same character for the same title
level - the above is just the way *I* use, as it makes easier for
me to remember the title level).

2) remember that ReST considers new lines with same indentation as
   belonging to the same paragraph. So,

	foo
	bar

is identical to:

	foo bar

while
	foo
	   bar

will make "foo" bold, and write bar on the next line. So, if you
want to have them on two separate lines on its output, it should
be either write it as:

	foo

	bar

or you could use a list:

	- foo
	- bar

Btw, *a lot* of Kernel documents already have the above format.

3) literal values should be either inside ``foo``, `foo` or on an
   indented line after a ::, like:

	example::

		# some_command_to_be_typed

If you follow those three simple rules, your document will be properly
parsed. The above covers 90% of what we normally use.

Tables are also easy to write there, as it recognizes two ways to write
ascii tables, with are already popular ways to write them.

So, those are valid tables:

Without a title:

	===   ===============
	foo   foo description
	bar   bar description
	===   ===============


	+-------+-----------------+
	| foo   | foo description |
	+-------+-----------------+
	| bar   | bar description |
	+-------+-----------------+

(both will produce exactly the same output)

With a title:

	===== ===============
	field description
	===== ===============
	foo   foo description
	bar   bar description
	===   ===============

	+-------+-----------------+
	| field | description     |
	+=======+=================+
	| foo   | foo description |
	+-------+-----------------+
	| bar   | bar description |
	+-------+-----------------+

(both will produce exactly the same output)

This is not too different on what we usually do on documents - except that
some documents sometimes use UTF8, or a different character set to mark the
table lines. So the "conversion" is simply to follow one of the above
styles.

Thanks,
Mauro

So I believe it gives even you one thing in return: documentation that is
more accessible for both readers and authors.  More readable docs should
lead to more educated developers who understand the code better.  More
writable docs will bring more people in to help to improve them.  The
former effect has been reported in the GPU community, where they say that
the quality of submissions has improved along with the docs.  The latter
can be observed in the increased number of people working on the docs
overall, something that Linus noted in the 5.1-rc1 announcement.

Hopefully that's worth something :)

Thanks,

jon

I know I'm an odd duck; but no. They're _less_ accessible for me, as
both a reader and author. They look 'funny' when read as a text file
(the only way it makes sense to read them; I spend 99% of my time on a
computer looking at monospace text interfaces; mutt, vim and console, in
that approximate order).

When writing, I now have to be bothered about this format crap over just
trying to write a coherent document.

Look at crap like this:

"The memory allocations via :c:func:`kmalloc`, :c:func:`vmalloc`,
:c:func:`kmem_cache_alloc` and"

That should've been written like:

"The memory allocations via kmalloc(), vmalloc(), kmem_cache_alloc()
and"

Heck, that paragraph isn't even properly flowed.

Then there's the endless stuck ':' key, and the mysterious "''" because
\" isn't a character, oh wait.

Bah..

It is probably fine to stare at them here
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ and the end result is good
for showing them in browsers but after this conversion, it is
getting more and more painful to work with those files. For example,
Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt we use a lot. I'd hate it if I had to go
sort out rest muck first just so that I can read it.

I think we can simply leave some text files be text files and be done
with it.

That's my view about how that specific file would be after
converted to ReST:

	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/tree/Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.rst?h=convert_rst_renames

I don't have any troubles reading/understanding it as a plain text
file, and its html output is also nice (although Sphinx 1.7.8 seems to
have some issues when parsing some cells - probably due to some bug):

	https://www.infradead.org/~mchehab/rst_conversion/x86/x86_64/mm.html

>

Changbin's approach was somewhat close to what you want. He simply
prepended the tables with ::, in order to show them as plain old
ascii:

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190423162932.21428-60-changbin.du@gmail.com/

Both equally works, from ReST conversion PoV. I'm fine ether way.

I prefer my approach, as, IMHO, it is visually nicer on both text and
html versions, but his approach is likely easier to maintain, as doing
ascii artwork by hand is sometimes painful.

Thanks,
Mauro

If that is all the changes it would need, then I guess that's ok. Btw,
those rst-conversion patches don't really show what got changed. Dunno
if git can even show that properly. I diffed the two files by hand to
see what got changed, see end of mail.

So I guess if table in rst means, one needs to draw rows and columns, I
guess that's ok. It's not like I have to do it every day.

But exactly this - *having* to do rst formatting would mean a lot of
getting used to and people writing something which is not necessarily
correct rst and someone else fixing up after them.

Another pain point is changing the file paths. Without cscope I would've
been cursing each time I'm looking for kernel-parameters.txt, for
example. First of all, it is in Documentation/admin-guide/ now and then
there's Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst too.

I guess the .rst sucks in the .txt file and shows it monospaced. Oh
well.

So* I'd suggest having as less markup in those files as possible and if
it is needed, automate adding the needed markup, as Jon suggested.

The perfect example was the one which Peter gave and I had to paste in a
thread today:

"The memory allocations via :c:func:`kmalloc`, :c:func:`vmalloc`,
:c:func:`kmem_cache_alloc` and"

That is very unreadable.

Anyway, stuff like that. Just giving my feedback here in case you're
interested. :-)

I don't know how that looks in your browser but in mine those addresses
are not in monospaced font and there's no properly reading them.

And yap, the cells parsing fun I see too.

Yap, that's better.

I mean, the file is just as readable in plain old ASCII, if not even
more so. At least to me but I prefer simple things so...

Remember that most of our docs are 99% RST even though they were written
by people who had never even heard of RST.  I really don't think it's a
big deal - a far smaller cognitive load than trying to keep up with any
given subsystem's variable-declaration-ordering rules, for example :)

Moving of files has nothing to do with RST, of course.  That you can
blame entirely on me trying to bring some order to Documentation/.  As a
predecessor of mine once put it (https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/3/422):

	Documentation/* is a gigantic mess, currently organized based on
	where random passers-by put things down last.

When other parts of the kernel tree turn out to be organized in
less-than-useful ways, we move things around.  I'm trying to do the same
in Documentation/, with an attempt to be sympathetic toward our readers,
sort things by intended audience, and create (someday) a coherent whole.
I agree that moving docs is a short-term annoyance, but I'm hoping that
it brings a long-term benefit.

Minimal markup is the policy (it's even documented :).  Automating stuff
that can be automated is an area that has definitely not received
enough attention; hopefully some things can be done there in the very
near future.

Tztztz, this thing seems to have hit a nerve with people. Which means, I
will enforce that even more now so that I annoy submitters more! :-P

See, I can do my own "RST" too. :-P

Srsly: ok, good. Sounds like we're on the same page then.

Ok, that's fair. I've been moving files too, in the past.

Sounds nice, thanks Jon!

That is not a happy diff; that table has gotten waay worse to read due
to all that extra table crap.

Not that I'm proposing such change, but, as a reference, I just discovered 
today that there's a way to make it even lighter than it is while still
showing it as a table:

Well, you can use git show -M01 and it will likely show what
changed. The thing is that plain diff is not very good showing
diffs on text files. I suspect that using some tool like wdiff
would give a better view of such changes.

Yes, for complex tables, one needs to draw rows/columns. For simple
tables, all you need to do is something like:

  ====== ========   ====    ========    ===
  -      CONT PTE    PMD    CONT PMD    PUD
  ====== ========   ====    ========    ===
  4K:         64K     2M         32M     1G
  16K:         2M    32M          1G
  64K:         2M   512M         16G
  ====== ========   ====    ========    ===

in order to teach Sphinx where each column starts/stops, and
(optionally) show the table titles in bold.

(that's from Documentation/arm64/hugetlbpage.rst conversion)

Font selection is one of the things would require some markup, as a
plain text file doesn't have font changes.

There are several ways to make it use a monospaced font.

The straight forward way would be to place everything that it is
monospaced inside ``double quotes``, with is the ReST way to mark
a literal block inside a text. IMHO, that would add too much
"noise" at the tables.

Another possibility would be to do:

	.. raw:: html

	       <head><style>td { font-family: monospace, monospace; }</style></head>

(the double monospace here is not a mistake - it is due to a known
bug^H^H^Hfeature on some browsers[1])

[1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38781089/font-family-monospace-monospace

IMO, the best alternative would be to add a new class to the css file,
and use it whenever we need a table with monospaced font, e. g.:

The ..cssclass:: markup on the above example will be applied just to
the table below it. So, with that, it is possible to have normal and
monospaced tables mixed (if you apply the above patch, you'll see
that just the first table will use monospaced fonts).

Personally, I don't care much with monospaced fonts on this table. After
all, if I want to see it monospaced, I can simply click at the
"View page source" at the browser, and it will display the file as a
plain old monospaced text file.

Goes to show why kernel people wouldn't want to look at that in
the browser. Long hex numbers are hard to read as it is - that's
why there's even the 4-digit separator in some docs, for example:
0xffff_ffff_8100_0000.

Not having it monospaced makes the whole thing even less readable.

That's why it is important for the markup not to get in the way of
people looking at those files in an editor.

IMHO, even the 0x and _ would make it harder to read. This is a way
more easy for my eyes:

	ffff ffff 8100 0000

> Not having it monospaced makes the whole thing even less readable.

Yeah, I see your point and agree with it.

Just saying that, if all I want is to check if addresses that start
with ffff80 belongs to the guard hole, or just to copy a value from 
a table into some C code, the font doesn't matter much, and, if
I care, a simple click would show it in monospaced fonts.

Looking from your PoV, something like:


|ffffffff80000000 |   -2    GB | ffffffff9fffffff |  512 MB | kernel text mapping, mapped to physical address 0         |


is very hard to be parsed by a human eye, even with monospaced fonts.
In order to make it easier, I would replace it by:

|ffff ffff 8000 0000 |   -2    GB | ffff ffff 9fff ffff |  512 MB | kernel text mapping, mapped to physical address 0         |

Fully agreed. the markups should make things easier and not
harder for people to read its contents.

Yeah, I get it.  That markup generates cross-references, which can be
seriously useful for readers - we want that.  But I do wonder if we
couldn't do it automatically with just a little bit of scripting work.
It's not to hard to recognize this_is_a_function(), after all.  I'll look
into that, it would definitely help to remove some gunk from the source
docs.

The funny thing is; that sentence continues (on a new line) like:

"friends are traced and the pointers, together with additional"

So while it then has cross-references to a few functions, all 'friends'
are left dangling. So what's the point of the cross-references?

Also, 'make ctags' and follow tag (ctrl-] for fellow vim users) will get
you to the function, no magic markup required.

That would be good; less markup is more.

While on it, one thing that I noticed on several documents is that
they reference other documents by their names. On this conversion,
I avoided replacing that by a :ref:`` tag or a :doc:`` tag. I only
added cross references on two cases:

	- a latex file that got converted to ReST and had such
	  cross-references already;

	- one of the document sets that seemed to be using some other
	  markup language very close to ReST, but with a different
	  cross-reference markup. So, I just converted it to use
	  the syntax that Sphinx would recognize.

Anyway, one of the things that occurred to me is that maybe
some scripting work or a ReST extension could do something to parse
"Documentation/foo" as :doc:`Documentation/foo` without needing to 
explicitly use any ReST specific tags.

Mauro

That probably makes sense too.  People do want to link to specific
subsections within documents, though; maybe we could allow
"Documentation/foo#bar" for that.  Such "markup" could even be useful for
people reading the plain-text files.

Sphinx is a tool for working with
:ref:`ReStructuredText` documentation trees
and rendering them into HTML, PDF, LaTeX, ePub,
and a number of other formats.

Sphinx extends :ref:`Docutils` with a number of useful markup behaviors
which are not supported by other ReStructuredText parsers.

Most other ReStructuredText parsers do not support Sphinx directives;
so, for example,

* GitHub and BitBucket do not support Sphinx but do support ReStructuredText
  so ``README.rst`` containing Sphinx tags renders in plaintext or raises
errors.

  For example, the index page of this
  :ref:`Sphinx` documentation set is generated from
  a file named ``index.rst`` that referenced by ``docs/conf.py``,
  which is utilized by ``sphinx-build`` in the ``Makefile``.

Sphinx is a tool for working with
:ref:`ReStructuredText` documentation trees
and rendering them into HTML, PDF, LaTeX, ePub,
and a number of other formats.

FWIW, ReadTheDocs can host multiple versions of the docs according to the
repo
tags you specify in the web admin.
There may be a way to use the RTD JS UI for selecting versions
with the docs hosted on your own server?
Such as https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
