So I've been messing with this a bit; wanted to do a proper patch posting
but I'm fried and mostly out of time for the moment.
The results I'm getting now can be seen at:
http://static.lwn.net/kerneldoc/
I've pulled in a few templates (including gpu.tmpl), converted them, and
built them into some reasonable-looking HTML, modulo a fair number of
glitches. There's lots of details to deal with, but the broad shape of it
is there. If you look, you'll see that things like cross-file
cross-references, a feature we've never had before, work nicely.
I can also get good EPUB and PDF output - except that rst2pdf is
currently crashing on me, which is a little discouraging. Man page
output will take more work.
What I have so far can be pulled from:
git://git.lwn.net/linux.git doc/sphinx
It's still based on using docproc because that was easiest (for me). The
kernel-doc part is Jani's asciidoc stuff, hacked up and made uglier. I'm
not sure that any of it is worth more than a demonstration of what can be
done; I'm not particularly proud of (or tied to) any of it. But it's a
start.
I've not looked at the table situation at all; soon.
