* dev-manual: move multiconfig documentation to its own documentAntonin Godard2025-02-261-154/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | In preparation of more section and examples to multiconfig, move the section about it in building.rst into its own document.

* dev-manual/building: document the initramfs-framework recipeAntonin Godard2025-01-291-1/+83
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ YOCTO #14747 ] Adding a initramfs is a common task, and the way oe-core offers to do so is by using the initramfs-framework recipe and companion modules. There was already documentation on adding an initramfs but the documentation was lacking details on this framework. Add it before the multiconfig section because it is a bit more important IMO.

* manuals: suppress excess use of "following" wordMichael Opdenacker2024-02-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* manuals: document VSCode extensionEnguerrand de Ribaucourt2024-01-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VSCode extension is now officially maintained and published by the Yocto Project so it should be referenced in the manuals to help users discover it. I located the most relevant places to reference the extension by looking at how the old Eclipse plugin was documented in the 2.6 manuals as well as the current Toaster references.

* manuals: simplify references to classesMichael Opdenacker2023-01-061-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that .bbclass is removed from class section titles. We can now have, for example, :ref:`ref-classes-insane` instead of :ref:`insane <ref-classes-insane>`. Then, when necessary, rework paragraphs so that they have lines of even length, not exceeding 80 characters.

* manuals: split dev-manual/common-tasks.rstMichael Opdenacker2022-12-011-0/+940
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.
