From 86a415df8a26c0a13af964097ea0a46060a33cb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas De Schampheleire Date: Fri, 2 May 2014 07:47:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] manual: use one-line titles instead of two-line titles (trivial) Asciidoc supports two syntaxes for section titles: two-line titles (title plus underline consisting of a particular symbol), and one-line titles (title prefixed with a specific number of = signs). The two-line title underlines are: Level 0 (top level): ====================== Level 1: ---------------------- Level 2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level 3: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Level 4 (bottom level): ++++++++++++++++++++++ and the one-line title prefixes: = Document Title (level 0) = == Section title (level 1) == === Section title (level 2) === ==== Section title (level 3) ==== ===== Section title (level 4) ===== The buildroot manual is currenly using the two-line titles, but this has multiple disadvantages: - asciidoc also uses some of the underline symbols for other purposes (like preformatted code, example blocks, ...), which makes it difficult to do mass replacements, such as a planned follow-up patch that needs to move all sections one level down. - it is difficult to remember which level a given underline symbol (=-~^+) corresponds to, while counting = signs is easy. This patch changes all two-level titles to one-level titles in the manual. The bulk of the change was done with the following Python script, except for the level 1 titles (-----) as these underlines are also used for literal code blocks. This patch only changes the titles, no other changes. In adding-packages-directory.txt, I did add missing newlines between some titles and their content. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import mmap import re for input in sys.argv[1:]: f = open(input, 'r+') f.flush() s = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0) # Level 0 (top level): ====================== = # Level 1: ---------------------- == # Level 2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ === # Level 3: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ==== # Level 4 (bottom level): ++++++++++++++++++++++ ===== def replace_title(s, symbol, replacement): pattern = re.compile(r'(.+\n)\%s{2,}\n' % symbol, re.MULTILINE) return pattern.sub(r'%s \1' % replacement, s) new = s new = replace_title(new, '=', '=') new = replace_title(new, '+', '=====') new = replace_title(new, '^', '====') new = replace_title(new, '~', '===') #new = replace_title(new, '-', '==') s.seek(0) s.write(new) s.resize(s.tell()) s.close() f.close() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Thomas De Schampheleire Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard --- docs/manual/adding-packages-autotools.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/adding-packages-cmake.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/adding-packages-conclusion.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/adding-packages-directory.txt | 25 ++++++------- docs/manual/adding-packages-generic.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/adding-packages-gettext.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/adding-packages-hooks.txt | 6 ++-- docs/manual/adding-packages-luarocks.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/adding-packages-perl.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/adding-packages-python.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/adding-packages-tips.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/adding-packages-virtual.txt | 21 ++++------- docs/manual/adding-packages.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/advanced.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/appendix.txt | 12 +++---- docs/manual/beyond-buildroot.txt | 12 +++---- docs/manual/ccache-support.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/common-usage.txt | 21 ++++------- docs/manual/configure.txt | 18 ++++------ docs/manual/contribute.txt | 27 +++++--------- docs/manual/customize-busybox-config.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/customize-kernel-config.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/customize-outside-br.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/customize-packages.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/customize-rootfs.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/customize-store.txt | 18 ++++------ docs/manual/customize-toolchain.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/customize-uclibc-config.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/customize.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/debugging-buildroot.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/developer-guide.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/download-infra.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/download-location.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/eclipse-integration.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/faq-troubleshooting.txt | 24 +++++-------- docs/manual/get-involved.txt | 39 +++++++-------------- docs/manual/getting.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/going-further.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/how-buildroot-works.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/introduction.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/known-issues.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/legal-notice.txt | 12 +++---- docs/manual/make-tips.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/makedev-syntax.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/makeusers-syntax.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/manual.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/package-make-target.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/patch-policy.txt | 24 +++++-------- docs/manual/prerequisite.txt | 9 ++--- docs/manual/rebuilding-packages.txt | 6 ++-- docs/manual/starting-up.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/using-buildroot-development.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/using-buildroot-toolchain.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/using.txt | 3 +- docs/manual/working-with.txt | 6 ++-- docs/manual/writing-rules.txt | 12 +++---- 56 files changed, 155 insertions(+), 302 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/manual/adding-packages-autotools.txt b/docs/manual/adding-packages-autotools.txt index cc668b526c..c7e797f878 100644 --- a/docs/manual/adding-packages-autotools.txt +++ b/docs/manual/adding-packages-autotools.txt @@ -1,13 +1,11 @@ // -*- mode:doc; -*- // vim: set syntax=asciidoc: -Infrastructure for autotools-based packages -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +=== Infrastructure for autotools-based packages [[autotools-package-tutorial]] -+autotools-package+ tutorial -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +==== +autotools-package+ tutorial First, let's see how to write a +.mk+ file for an autotools-based package, with an example : @@ -67,8 +65,7 @@ package to be built.
