manuals: replace hyphens with em dashes

2022-06-27T13:55:08+00:00

Fix some hyphens being improperly used as em dashes. See https://www.grammarly.com/blog/hyphens-and-dashes/ Using em dashes may also allow Sphinx to hyphenate and break lines in the best way. Note that the first character after an em dash not supposed to be capitalized, unless a specific rule applies, typically when what follows is a proper noun. Fix a few misuses of parentheses in following text. (From yocto-docs rev: 5918f019f63f6e820b1168f4cc001faa1d1cdc6f) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

overview-manual: remove confusing and unnecessary paragraph about site.conf

2022-05-10T11:52:35+00:00

The explanations which precede and follow are sufficient. The removed text seemed to suggest to use conf/site.conf to specify the location of another conf/site.conf file. Another issue was that the way to override conf/site.conf settings through conf/local.conf was described before explaining that conf/site.conf is processed before conf/local.conf.

manuals: improve the width of diagrams

2022-05-10T11:52:35+00:00

Better for EPUB output in particular - Make some diagrams wider when necessary - Remove ":align: center" when we have ":width: 100%" - Update the standards.md files to mention this (From yocto-docs rev: 848ba7bd8984cc3f4bf6b818259865011cde0476) Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

overview-manual: licensing section fixes

2022-04-27T15:02:39+00:00

Remove the reference to the GPL license, unnecessary in this part of the manual and pointing to a wrong link (LGPL instead of GPL). Anyway, we have no authority to say that the MIT license is compatible with the GPL. Also provide details about the MIT license through Wikipedia, instead of just the raw license text with no explanations through opensource.org.

manuals: fix quoting of double dashes

2022-03-31T10:46:03+00:00

Otherwise rendered as "en" dashes by sphinx, for example: git pull –rebase instead of git pull --rebase Readers could confuse them with normal dashes. Exception: replace by \-\- in italic text (*text*) as Sphinx cannot nest italic and quoted text. For consistency, also update quoting in strings in the same code hunks.
