2016-07-08doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/mediaMauro Carvalho Chehab
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also, as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it clearer. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

This is the restructuredText (reST) migration of the ``media`` DocBook-XML set from the linux_tv project. Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
2016-06-24Documentation: add meta-documentation for Sphinx and kernel-docJani Nikula
Describe Sphinx, reStructuredText, the kernel-doc extension, the kernel-doc structured documentation comments, etc. The kernel-doc parts are based on kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt, by Tim <twaugh@redhat.com>.

2016-06-23Documentation/sphinx: drop modindex, we don't have python modulesJani Nikula
The modindex is for python modules. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
2016-06-21Documentation/gpu: add new gpu.rst converted from DocBook gpu.tmplJani Nikula
This is the first step towards converting the DocBook gpu.tmpl to Sphinx and reStructuredText, the new kernel documentation tool and markup. Use Jon's "cheesy conversion script" in Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt to do the rough conversion. Do the manual edits in follow-up patches. Add a new Documentation/gpu directories for the graphics related documentation. (Hooray, now we can have directories based on topics rather than tools under Documentation.) We also won't remove the DocBook gpu.tmpl yet so it's easier to build both and compare the results for parity.

2016-05-30Documentation/sphinx: add basic working Sphinx configuration and buildJani Nikula
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>
