From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Wed, 17 May 2017 09:53:44 +0000 (-0300) Subject: rpmsg.txt: standardize document format X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=af3137f1322b2a25ce24da131675b090fbb9fa7e;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git rpmsg.txt: standardize document format Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - mark document and chapter titles; - mark notes; - mark literal blocks; - adjust identation.
