* bitbake: doc: bitbake-user-manual: grammar fix for the number of "metadata"Michael Opdenacker2021-08-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | "metadata" is used both as singular and as plural. This fixes a case in which the verb has a singular conjugation, which conflicts with the absence of article indicating a plural case.

* bitbake: doc: bitbake-user-manual: replace ``FOO`` by :term:`FOO` where possibleQuentin Schulz2021-07-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a variable has a glossary entry and some rST files write about those variables, it's better to point to the glossary entry instead of just highlighting it by surrounding it with two tick quotes. 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 which can be gotten from doc/_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.

* bitbake: sphinx: fixup for linksNicolas Dechesne2020-09-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we converted the list of variables into a Sphinx glossary, the automatic conversion from Pandoc does not produce proper links. We fix them up using a Python regexp. Similarly some http links were not converted correctly, and can also be fixed up with a regexp. This patch was generated by running the following regexp: line = re.sub("` <(https?://.*)>`__", "\\1", line) line = re.sub("`+(\w+)`* <#var-bb-\\1>`__", ":term:`\\1`", line) (Bitbake rev: 57300955beb200c81762880f44f1a499451b7432) Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dechesne <nicolas.dechesne@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
* bitbake: sphinx: initial sphinx supportNicolas Dechesne2020-09-161-0/+571
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.
