DocBook XML [DEPRECATED]
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
.. attention::
|
|
|
|
This section describes the deprecated DocBook XML toolchain. Please do not
|
|
create new DocBook XML template files. Please consider converting existing
|
|
DocBook XML templates files to Sphinx/reStructuredText.
|
|
|
|
Converting DocBook to Sphinx
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Over time, we expect all of the documents under ``Documentation/DocBook`` to be
|
|
converted to Sphinx and reStructuredText. For most DocBook XML documents, a good
|
|
enough solution is to use the simple ``Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt`` script,
|
|
which uses ``pandoc`` under the hood. For example::
|
|
|
|
$ cd Documentation/sphinx
|
|
$ ./tmplcvt ../DocBook/in.tmpl ../out.rst
|
|
|
|
Then edit the resulting rst files to fix any remaining issues, and add the
|
|
document in the ``toctree`` in ``Documentation/index.rst``.
|
|
|
|
Components of the kernel-doc system
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Many places in the source tree have extractable documentation in the form of
|
|
block comments above functions. The components of this system are:
|
|
|
|
- ``scripts/kernel-doc``
|
|
|
|
This is a perl script that hunts for the block comments and can mark them up
|
|
directly into reStructuredText, DocBook, man, text, and HTML. (No, not
|
|
texinfo.)
|
|
|
|
- ``Documentation/DocBook/*.tmpl``
|
|
|
|
These are XML template files, which are normal XML files with special
|
|
place-holders for where the extracted documentation should go.
|
|
|
|
- ``scripts/docproc.c``
|
|
|
|
This is a program for converting XML template files into XML files. When a
|
|
file is referenced it is searched for symbols exported (EXPORT_SYMBOL), to be
|
|
able to distinguish between internal and external functions.
|
|
|
|
It invokes kernel-doc, giving it the list of functions that are to be
|
|
documented.
|
|
|
|
Additionally it is used to scan the XML template files to locate all the files
|
|
referenced herein. This is used to generate dependency information as used by
|
|
make.
|
|
|
|
- ``Makefile``
|
|
|
|
The targets 'xmldocs', 'psdocs', 'pdfdocs', and 'htmldocs' are used to build
|
|
DocBook XML files, PostScript files, PDF files, and html files in
|
|
Documentation/DocBook. The older target 'sgmldocs' is equivalent to 'xmldocs'.
|
|
|
|
- ``Documentation/DocBook/Makefile``
|
|
|
|
This is where C files are associated with SGML templates.
|
|
|
|
How to use kernel-doc comments in DocBook XML template files
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
DocBook XML template files (\*.tmpl) are like normal XML files, except that they
|
|
can contain escape sequences where extracted documentation should be inserted.
|
|
|
|
``!E<filename>`` is replaced by the documentation, in ``<filename>``, for
|
|
functions that are exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``: the function list is
|
|
collected from files listed in ``Documentation/DocBook/Makefile``.
|
|
|
|
``!I<filename>`` is replaced by the documentation for functions that are **not**
|
|
exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``.
|
|
|
|
``!D<filename>`` is used to name additional files to search for functions
|
|
exported using ``EXPORT_SYMBOL``.
|
|
|
|
``!F<filename> <function [functions...]>`` is replaced by the documentation, in
|
|
``<filename>``, for the functions listed.
|
|
|
|
``!P<filename> <section title>`` is replaced by the contents of the ``DOC:``
|
|
section titled ``<section title>`` from ``<filename>``. Spaces are allowed in
|
|
``<section title>``; do not quote the ``<section title>``.
|
|
|
|
``!C<filename>`` is replaced by nothing, but makes the tools check that all DOC:
|
|
sections and documented functions, symbols, etc. are used. This makes sense to
|
|
use when you use ``!F`` or ``!P`` only and want to verify that all documentation
|
|
is included.
