docs: sphinx-extensions: make rstFlatTable work with docutils 0.13

2016-12-18T20:30:29Z

In docutils 0.13, the return type of get_column_widths method of the Table directive has changed [1], which breaks our flat-table directive and leads to a TypeError when trying to build the docs [2]. This patch adds support for the new return type, while keeping support for older docutils versions too.

docs: sphinx-extensions: add metadata parallel-safe

2016-09-01T14:19:02Z

The setup() function of a Sphinx-extension can return a dictionary. This is treated by Sphinx as metadata of the extension [1]. With metadata "parallel_read_safe = True" a extension is marked as save for "parallel reading of source". This is needed if you want build in parallel with N processes. E.g.: make SPHINXOPTS=-j4 htmldocs will no longer log warnings like: WARNING: the foobar extension does not declare if it is safe for parallel reading, assuming it isn't - please ask the extension author to check and make it explicit. Add metadata to extensions: * kernel-doc * flat-table * kernel-include [1] http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/extdev/#extension-metadata Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser Tested-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

doc-rst: flat-table directive - initial implementation

2016-06-30T18:58:33Z

Implements the reST flat-table directive. The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with some additional features: * column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through additional columns * row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through additional rows * auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right side of that table-row. With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automaticly inserts (empty) list tables The *list tables* formats are double stage lists. Compared to the ASCII-art they migth be less comfortable for readers of the text-files. Their advantage is, that they are easy to create/modify and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningfull, because it is limited to the modified content. The initial implementation was taken from the sphkerneldoc project [1] [1] https://github.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/commits/master/scripts/site-python/linuxdoc/rstFlatTable.py Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser [jc: fixed typos and misspellings in the docs] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
