Documentation/sphinx: add basic working Sphinx configuration and build Add basic configuration and makefile to build documentation from any .rst files under Documentation using Sphinx. For starters, there's just the placeholder index.rst. At the top level Makefile, hook Sphinx documentation targets alongside (but independent of) the DocBook toolchain, having both be run on the various 'make *docs' targets. All Sphinx processing is placed into Documentation/Makefile.sphinx. Both that and the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile are now expected to handle all the documentation targets, explicitly ignoring them if they're not relevant for that particular toolchain. The changes to the existing DocBook Makefile are kept minimal. There is graceful handling of missing Sphinx and rst2pdf (which is needed for pdf output) by checking for the tool and python module, respectively, with informative messages to the user. If the Read the Docs theme (sphinx_rtd_theme) is available, use it, but otherwise gracefully fall back to the Sphinx default theme, with an informative message to the user, and slightly less pretty HTML output. Sphinx can now handle htmldocs, pdfdocs (if rst2pdf is available), epubdocs and xmldocs targets. The output documents are written into per output type subdirectories under Documentation/output. Finally, you can pass options to sphinx-build using the SPHINXBUILD make variable. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs' for more verbose output from Sphinx. This is based on the original work by Jonathan Corbet, but he probably wouldn't recognize this as his own anymore. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>

Documentation/sphinx: configure the kernel-doc extension Tell Sphinx where to find the extension, and pass on the kernel src tree and kernel-doc paths to the extension. With this, any .rst files under Documentation may contain the kernel-doc rst directive to include kernel-doc documentation from any source file. While building, it may be handy to pass kernel-doc extension configuration on the command line. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS="-D kerneldoc_verbosity=0" htmldocs' silences all stderr output from kernel-doc when the kernel-doc exit code is 0. (The stderr will be logged unconditionally when the exit code is non-zero.) Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>

E.g. to compile only the html of 'media' with the *nit-picking* build use:: make SPHINXDIRS=media SPHINX_CONF=conf_nitpick.py htmldocs With this, the Documentation/conf.py is read first and updated with the configuration values from the Documentation/media/conf_nitpick.py.

Documentation/sphinx: set literal block highlight language to none Set the default highlight language to "none", i.e. do not try to guess the language and do automatic syntax highlighting on literal blocks. Eyeballing around the generated documentation, we don't seem to actually have a lot of literal blocks that would benefit from syntax highlighting. The C code blocks we do have are typically very short, and most of the literal blocks are things that shouldn't be highlighted (or, do not have a pygments lexer). This seems to be true for literal blocks both in the rst source files and in source code comments. Not highlighting code is never wrong, but guessing the language wrong almost invariably leads to silly or confusing highlighting. At the time of writing, admin-guide/oops-tracing.rst and admin-guide/ramoops.rst contain good examples of 1) a small C code snippet not highlighted, 2) a hex dump highligted as who knows what, 3) device tree block highlighted as C or maybe Python, 4) a terminal interaction highlighted as code in some language, and finally, 5) some C code snippets correctly identified as C. I think we're better off disabling language guessing, and going by explicitly identified languages for longer code blocks. It is still possible to enable highlighting on an rst source file basis using the highlight directive: .. higlight:: language and on a literal block basis using the code-block directive: .. code-block:: language See http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/latest/markup/code.html for details.

docs-rst: conf.py: only setup notice box colors if Sphinx < 1.6 Sphinx 1.5 added a new way to change backward colors for note boxes, but kept backward compatibility with 1.4. On Sphinx 1.6, the old way stopped working, in favor of a new less hackish way. Unfortunately, this is currently too buggy to be used, and the old way doesn't work anymore. So, we have no option but to stick with boring notice boxes. One example of such bug is the notice that it is inside struct v4l2_plane, at the "bytesused" field. At least, add a notice about how to use, as maybe some day the bug will vanish. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Documentation/sphinx: add basic working Sphinx configuration and build Add basic configuration and makefile to build documentation from any .rst files under Documentation using Sphinx. For starters, there's just the placeholder index.rst. At the top level Makefile, hook Sphinx documentation targets alongside (but independent of) the DocBook toolchain, having both be run on the various 'make *docs' targets. All Sphinx processing is placed into Documentation/Makefile.sphinx. Both that and the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile are now expected to handle all the documentation targets, explicitly ignoring them if they're not relevant for that particular toolchain. The changes to the existing DocBook Makefile are kept minimal. There is graceful handling of missing Sphinx and rst2pdf (which is needed for pdf output) by checking for the tool and python module, respectively, with informative messages to the user. If the Read the Docs theme (sphinx_rtd_theme) is available, use it, but otherwise gracefully fall back to the Sphinx default theme, with an informative message to the user, and slightly less pretty HTML output. Sphinx can now handle htmldocs, pdfdocs (if rst2pdf is available), epubdocs and xmldocs targets. The output documents are written into per output type subdirectories under Documentation/output. Finally, you can pass options to sphinx-build using the SPHINXBUILD make variable. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs' for more verbose output from Sphinx.

While building, it may be handy to pass kernel-doc extension configuration on the command line.

doc-rst: generic way to build only sphinx sub-folders Add a generic way to build only a reST sub-folder with or without a individual *build-theme*. * control *sub-folders* by environment SPHINXDIRS * control *build-theme* by environment SPHINX_CONF Folders with a conf.py file, matching $(srctree)/Documentation/*/conf.py can be build and distributed *stand-alone*. E.g. to compile only the html of 'media' and 'gpu' folder use:: make SPHINXDIRS="media gpu" htmldocs To use an additional sphinx-build configuration (*build-theme*) set the name of the configuration file to SPHINX_CONF. E.g. to compile only the html of 'media' with the *nit-picking* build use:: make SPHINXDIRS=media SPHINX_CONF=conf_nitpick.py htmldocs With this, the Documentation/conf.py is read first and updated with the configuration values from the Documentation/media/conf_nitpick.py.
