manual: use one-line titles instead of two-line titles (trivial) Asciidoc supports two syntaxes for section titles: two-line titles (title plus underline consisting of a particular symbol), and one-line titles (title prefixed with a specific number of = signs). The two-line title underlines are: Level 0 (top level): ====================== Level 1: ---------------------- Level 2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level 3: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Level 4 (bottom level): ++++++++++++++++++++++ and the one-line title prefixes: = Document Title (level 0) = == Section title (level 1) == === Section title (level 2) === ==== Section title (level 3) ==== ===== Section title (level 4) ===== The buildroot manual is currenly using the two-line titles, but this has multiple disadvantages: - asciidoc also uses some of the underline symbols for other purposes (like preformatted code, example blocks, ...), which makes it difficult to do mass replacements, such as a planned follow-up patch that needs to move all sections one level down. - it is difficult to remember which level a given underline symbol (=-~^+) corresponds to, while counting = signs is easy. This patch changes all two-level titles to one-level titles in the manual. The bulk of the change was done with the following Python script, except for the level 1 titles (-----) as these underlines are also used for literal code blocks. This patch only changes the titles, no other changes. In adding-packages-directory.txt, I did add missing newlines between some titles and their content. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import mmap import re for input in sys.argv[1:]: f = open(input, 'r+') f.flush() s = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0) # Level 0 (top level): ====================== = # Level 1: ---------------------- == # Level 2: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ === # Level 3: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ==== # Level 4 (bottom level): ++++++++++++++++++++++ ===== def replace_title(s, symbol, replacement): pattern = re.compile(r'(.+\n)\%s{2,}\n' % symbol, re.MULTILINE) return pattern.sub(r'%s \1' % replacement, s) new = s new = replace_title(new, '=', '=') new = replace_title(new, '+', '=====') new = replace_title(new, '^', '====') new = replace_title(new, '~', '===') #new = replace_title(new, '-', '==') s.seek(0) s.write(new) s.resize(s.tell()) s.close() f.close() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de.schampheleire@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>

manual/user guide: high-level restructuring This patch performs some additional restructuring of the manual, specifically in the User Guide. In detail: - Rename 'Daily use' to 'General Buildroot usage' - Move chapters 'make tips', 'Eclipse integration', and 'Advanced usage' as sections under the 'General Buildroot usage' chapter. - Rename 'Details on Buildroot configuration' into 'Buildroot configuration' - Rework the 'Customization' section as follows: - Move the short section on debugging the external toolchain wrapper into the rest of the explanation on external toolchains. - Remove the now redundant section on toolchains, as this is already explained in much more detail in the 'Buildroot configuration' chapter. - Move the sections on busybox/uclibc/kernel configuration from chapter 'Customization' into a separate chapter 'Configuration of other components'. - Rename the remaining part of the original 'Customization' chapter into 'Project-specific customization' and fold it together with the next chapter 'Storing the configuration' - Remove the chapter 'Going further in Buildroot innards' thanks to: - Moving the chapter 'How Buildroot works' to the Developer guide. - Moving the 'Advanced Buildroot usage' section to the 'General Buildroot usage' chapter. - Remove the chapter 'Hacking Buildroot' by: - Adding a reference to adding packages to the 'Project-specific customizations' chapter - Leaving out the explicit reference to creating board support, as this is part of the previous chapter already, so an extra reference is redundant.
