Mauro says: This is the second part of a series I wrote sometime ago where I manually convert lots of files to be properly parsed by Sphinx as ReST files. As it touches on lot of stuff, this series is based on today's linux-next, at tag next-20190617. The first version of this series had 57 patches. The first part with 28 patches were already merged. Right now, there are still ~76 patches pending applying (including this series), and that's because I opted to do ~1 patch per converted directory. That sounds too much to be send on a single round. So, I'm opting to split it on 3 parts for the conversion, plus a final patch adding orphaned books to existing ones. Those patches should probably be good to be merged either by subsystem maintainers or via the docs tree. I opted to mark new files not included yet to the main index.rst (directly or indirectly) with the :orphan: tag, in order to avoid adding warnings to the build system. This should be removed after we find a "home" for all the converted files within the new document tree arrangement, after I submit the third part.
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
