Subject: [PATCH v2 08/26] robust-futex-ABI.txt: standardize document format
Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 12:26:48 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <14a19b89bc2ca613d5bc2436722e02d4e92de33d.1497713221.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1a82f2bf2de4b016964cb71ff92dc3a472044f40.1497713221.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:
- promote document title;
- use :Author: for authorship;
- mark literal blocks;
- add blank lines.
