* manuals: font fixesMichael Opdenacker2021-10-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes font inconsistencies, mixing a ``text`` string with another string with the regular font, where the whole string makes more sense with a single font. The result is also much simpler and will make future searches easier.

* docs: replace remaining ``FOO`` by :term:`FOO`Quentin Schulz2021-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few occurences appeared between the time the original patch was sent and it was applied, this fixes it. Also, the original patch didn't take into account lowercase terms, this is now fixed, see module_autoload for example. Finally, as is often the case with regexp, there was a typo in it that didn't make it match as much as it should have. The script that is used to do the replacement of ``FOO`` by :term:`FOO` is the following Python code: import re from pathlib import Path from runpy import run_module import contextlib import io import sys re_term = re.compile(r'variables.html#term-([a-zA-Z_0-9]*)') terms = [] new_terms = set() with contextlib.redirect_stdout(io.StringIO()) as f: run_module('sphinx.ext.intersphinx', run_name='__main__') objects = f.getvalue() match = re_term.search(objects) while match: if match.group(1): terms.append(match.group(1)) match = re_term.search(objects, match.end()) for rst in Path('.').rglob('*.rst'): with open(rst, 'r') as f: content = "".join(f.readlines()) for term in terms: content = re.sub(r'``({})``(?!.*\s+[~=-]{{{:d},}})'.format(term, len(term)), r':term:`\1`', content) with open(rst, 'w') as f: f.write(content) This script takes one argument as input: an objects.inv. Bitbake's can be gotten from https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/objects.inv. The objetcs.inv from the current git repo can be gotten from documentation/_build/html/objetcs.inv after running `make html`. Note that this excludes from replacement terms that appear in section titles as it requires refs to be changed too. This can be automated too if need be but right now it looks a bit confusing to have an anchor link (for sections) also have a term/reference link in it. I am not sure this is desired today. This is the result of two runs of the aforementioned script, once with Bitbake objects.inv and once with this repo's.

After looking at the various patterns, the follow series of 'naive' Python regexp were used to perform some additional automatic conversion. Also, since we rely on built-in glossary, all links to terms need to use the sphinx :term: syntax.

* sphinx: initial sphinx supportNicolas Dechesne2020-09-171-0/+418
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.
