Subject: [PATCH 29/32] Documentation/unicode.txt: convert it to ReST markup
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 14:56:06 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4be73b73e66455c2607092e7dfd129aefdbdbbdb.1476717925.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1476717925.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1476717925.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com>

Probably, unicode is something that we might remove from the
docs, as all modern systems support it. Yet, this chapter
is fun, as it mentions support for the Klington fictional
charset ;)

On the other hand, I bet all other OS user manuals
explicit mention unicode support.

So, convert it to ReST and include it at the user's book.
