Subject: [PATCH 23/57] docs: netlabel: convert it to ReST
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 23:55:48 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <104211eb0db14790ad328fff7ad7f712d8d647f9.1555382110.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1555382110.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
Convert netlabel documentation to ReST.
This was trivial: just add proper title markups.
