2017-12-11docs: Remove "could not extract kernel version" warningJonathan Corbet
This warning will happen for every normal kernel docs build and doesn't carry any useful information. Should anybody actually depend on this "version" variable (which isn't clear to me), the "unknown version" value will be clue enough. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-09-08docs-rst: don't require adjustbox anymoreMauro Carvalho Chehab
Only the media PDF book was requiring adjustbox, in order to scale big tables. That worked pretty good with Sphinx versions 1.4 and 1.5, but Spinx 1.6 changed the way tables are produced, by introducing some weird macros before tabulary. That causes adjustbox to fail. So, it can't be used anymore, and its usage was removed from the media book. So, let's remove it from conf.py and sphinx-pre-install.

2017-09-08docs-rst: conf.py: only setup notice box colors if Sphinx < 1.6Mauro Carvalho Chehab
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.

2017-08-26docs-rst: fix verbatim font size on tablesMauro Carvalho Chehab
On Sphinx 1.6, fancy boxes are used for verbatim. The sphinx.sty sets verbatim font is always \small. That causes a problem inside tables that use smaller fonts, as it can be too big for the box.

2017-08-24docs-rst: pdf: use same vertical margin on all Sphinx versionsMauro Carvalho Chehab
Currently, on Sphinx up to version 1.4, pdf output uses a vertical margin of 1 inch. For upper versions, it uses a margin of 0.5 inches. That causes both page headers and footers to be very close to the margin of the sheet. Not all printers support writing like that. Also, there's no reason why the layout for newer versions would be different than for previous ones. So, standardize it, by always setting to 1 inch.

2017-06-23Docs: Fix breakage with Sphinx 1.5 and upperMauro Carvalho Chehab
Commit 85c21e5c3ee7 (docs-rst: better adjust margins and font size) added a \usepackage{geometry} that conflicts with another inclusion deep within the dependencies with newer versions of Sphinx, causing the the PDF build to fail with a "conflicting parameters" error.

2016-11-03Documentation/sphinx: set literal block highlight language to noneJani Nikula
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.
