Subject: [PATCH v2 08/31] cpu-load: standardize document format
Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 12:25:27 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0c72781896e65bd8079ed9556f4a30baeca5e7cf.1497713142.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <f0f77a106d183325dce9eecd3c11214154050e11.1497713142.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>
In-Reply-To: <f0f77a106d183325dce9eecd3c11214154050e11.1497713142.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>
Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!
Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:
- mark literals;
- Adjust document title;
- Use a list for references.
