* docs-rst: add documents to development-processMauro Carvalho Chehab2016-10-241-465/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Add several documents to the development-process ReST book. As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those documents on their original place. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
* Documentation/applying-patches.txt: fix a bad external linkMauro Carvalho Chehab2016-10-241-1/+1
| | | | | | We can't use :ref: for external links. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
* docs: Clean up bare :: linesJonathan Corbet2016-09-201-33/+11
| | | | | | | | Mauro's patch set introduced some bare :: lines; these can be represented by a double colon at the end of the preceding text line. The result looks a little less weird and is less verbose. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
* Documentation/HOWTO: add cross-references to other documentsMauro Carvalho Chehab2016-09-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation. It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file. We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo directory.
