Sphinx is very pedantic with respect to blank lines. Sometimes, in order to make it to properly handle something, we need to add a blank line. However, currently, any blank line inside a kernel-doc comment like: /* * @foo: bar * * foobar * * some description will be considered as if "foobar" was part of the description. This patch changes kernel-doc behavior. After it, foobar will be considered as part of the parameter text. The description will only be considered as such if it starts with: zero spaces after asterisk: *foo one space after asterisk: * foo or have a explicit Description section: * Description: Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c07d2862792d75a2691d69c9eceb7b89a0164cc0.1586881715.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
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.
