The principal changes are: * whitespace is now significant, and multiline definitions must have their second and subsequent lines indented to match the first line * general rST format markup is permitted, not just the small set of markup the old texinfo generator handled. For most things (notably bulleted and itemized lists) the old format was the same as rST is. * Specific things that might trip people up: - instead of *bold* and _italic_ rST has **bold** and *italic* - lists need a preceding and following blank line - a lone literal '*' will need to be backslash-escaped to avoid a rST syntax error * the old leading '|' for example (literal text) blocks is replaced by the standard rST '::' literal block. * we support arbitrary levels of sub- and sub-sub-heading, not just a main and sub-heading like the old texinfo generator * lists can now be nested Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell Message-Id: <20200925162316.21205-18-peter.maydell@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster [Commit message improved slightly] Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster --- docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt | 83 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 53 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt b/docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt index 2a09d4d292..5fc67c99cd 100644 --- a/docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt +++ b/docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt @@ -824,23 +824,37 @@ See below for more on definition documentation.
