Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/5] Documentation: kvm: replace section numbers with links
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2024 14:45:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241023124507.280382-4-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241023124507.280382-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
In order to simplify further introduction of hyperlinks, replace explicit
section numbers with rST hyperlinks. The section numbers could actually
be removed now, but I'm not going to do a huge change throughout the file
for an RFC...
