sphinx: initial sphinx support
This commit is autogenerated pandoc to generate an inital set
of reST files based on DocBook XML files.
A .rst file is generated for each .xml files in all manuals with this
command:
cd <manual>
for i in *.xml; do \
pandoc -f docbook -t rst --shift-heading-level-by=-1 \
$i -o $(basename $i .xml).rst \
done
The conversion was done with: pandoc 2.9.2.1-91 (Arch Linux).
Also created an initial top level index file for each document, and
added all 'books' to the top leve index.rst file.
The YP manuals layout is organized as:
Book
Chapter
Section
Section
Section
Sphinx uses section headers to create the document structure.
ReStructuredText defines sections headers like that:
To break longer text up into sections, you use section headers. These
are a single line of text (one or more words) with adornment: an
underline alone, or an underline and an overline together, in dashes
"-----", equals "======", tildes "~~~~~~" or any of the
non-alphanumeric characters = - ` : ' " ~ ^ _ * + # < > that you feel
comfortable with. An underline-only adornment is distinct from an
overline-and-underline adornment using the same character. The
underline/overline must be at least as long as the title text. Be
consistent, since all sections marked with the same adornment style
are deemed to be at the same level:
Let's define the following convention when converting from Docbook:
Book => overline === (Title)
Chapter => overline *** (1.)
Section => ==== (1.1)
Section => ---- (1.1.1)
Section => ~~~~ (1.1.1.1)
Section => ^^^^ (1.1.1.1.1)
During the conversion with pandoc, we used --shift-heading-level=-1 to
convert most of DocBook headings automatically. However with this
setting, the Chapter header was removed, so I added it back
manually. Without this setting all headings were off by one, which was
more difficult to manually fix.
At least with this change, we now have the same TOC with Sphinx and
DocBook.

5 | Architecture of the Tracing and Profiling Tools | ||
6 | =============================================== | ||
7 | |||
8 | It may seem surprising to see a section covering an 'overall | ||
9 | architecture' for what seems to be a random collection of tracing tools | ||
10 | that together make up the Linux tracing and profiling space. The fact | ||
11 | is, however, that in recent years this seemingly disparate set of tools | ||
12 | has started to converge on a 'core' set of underlying mechanisms: | ||
13 | |||
14 | - static tracepoints | ||
15 | - dynamic tracepoints | ||
16 | |||
17 | - kprobes | ||
18 | - uprobes | ||
19 | |||
20 | - the perf_events subsystem | ||
21 | - debugfs | ||
22 | |||
23 | .. container:: informalexample | ||
24 | |||
25 | Tying it Together: | ||
26 | Rather than enumerating here how each tool makes use of these common | ||
27 | mechanisms, textboxes like this will make note of the specific usages | ||
28 | in each tool as they come up in the course of the text. | ||
