Mauro Carvalho Chehab 6e322a17fb sphinx.rst: better organize the documentation about PDF build
Instead of having it on just one note, add a separate section.

This way, we could later improve it, providing a better
guide about the needed steps for PDF builds.

There's no "Sphinx C Domain" reference at the Kernel

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 58ef4a42dd sphinx.rst: explain the usage of virtual environment
As the Sphinx build seems very fragile, specially for
PDF output, add a notice about how to use it on a virtual
environment.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab b8b07b5c8d docs-rst: move Sphinx install instructions to sphinx.rst
The toolchain used by Sphinx is somewhat complex, and installing
it should be part of the doc-guide.

Move it out of changes.rst.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 5d47c31b59 kernel-doc: describe the ``literal`` syntax
changeset b97f193abf ("scripts/kernel-doc: fix parser
for apostrophes") added support for ``literal`` inside
kernel-doc, in order to allow using the "%" symbol inside
a literal block, as this is used at printk() description.

Document it.

Markus Heiser db6ccf23e8 docs-rst: automatically convert Graphviz and SVG images
This patch brings scalable figure, image handling and a concept to
embed *render* markups:

* DOT (http://www.graphviz.org)
* SVG

For image handling use the 'image' replacement::

    .. kernel-image::  svg_image.svg
       :alt:    simple SVG image

For figure handling use the 'figure' replacement::

    .. kernel-figure::  svg_image.svg
       :alt:    simple SVG image

       SVG image example

Embed *render* markups (or languages) like Graphviz's **DOT** is
provided by the *render* directive.::

  .. kernel-render:: DOT
     :alt: foobar digraph
     :caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code.

     digraph foo {
      "bar" -> "baz";
     }

The *render* directive is a concept to integrate *render* markups and
languages, yet supported markups:

* DOT: render embedded Graphviz's **DOT**
* SVG: render embedded Scalable Vector Graphics (**SVG**)

Daniel Vetter c3c53600f6 doc: Explain light-handed markup preference a bit better
We're still pretty far away from anything like a consensus, but
there's clearly a lot of people who prefer an as-light as possible
approach to converting existing .txt files to .rst. Make sure this is
properly taken into account and clear.

Motivated by discussions with Peter and Christoph and others.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab c339665666 docs-rst: parse-headers.pl: cleanup the documentation
Keeping both rst and in-file documentation in sync can be harsh.

So, simplify the script's internal documntation to a bare minimum,
and add a mention to the ReST file with its full documentation.

This way, a quick help is still available at the command line,
while the complete one is maintained at the ReST format.

As we won't be using pad2rst anymore, do a cleanup at the ReST
file.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 1dc4bbf0b2 docs-rst: doc-guide: split the kernel-documentation.rst contents
Having the kernel-documentation at the topmost level doesn't
allow generating a separate PDF file for it. Also, makes harder
to add extra contents. So, place it on a sub-dir.
