manuals: suppress excess use of "following" word

2024-02-24T16:13:28+00:00

To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are" by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural. In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx" by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at the end of the sentence. In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when it's redundant with the preceding title.

2023-01-06T17:39:09+00:00

Now that .bbclass is removed from class section titles. We can now have, for example, :ref:`ref-classes-insane` instead of :ref:`insane `. Then, when necessary, rework paragraphs so that they have lines of even length, not exceeding 80 characters.

manuals: fix double colons

2022-12-18T10:41:21+00:00

Fixing double colons appearing alone on a line, while they could be put at the end of the previous line. Sometimes placing a note after the quoted text to avoid such a situation. It's more natural too not to have a note between the introduction text and the quoted section.

A 500 KB source file is always harder to manage, and can have section title conflicts. So, the "Common Tasks" document is gone and all its constituents are moved up one level. You now have 40 chapters in the Development Tasks Manual. (From yocto-docs rev: 8a45bc469411410020b8e688c137395fcaf3761b) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
