Documentation style guide
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
.. contents::
|
|
|
|
The following documents some specific libvirt rules for writing docs in
|
|
reStructuredText
|
|
|
|
Table of contents
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Any document which uses headings and whose content is long enough to cause
|
|
scrolling when viewed in the browser must start with a table of contents.
|
|
This should be created using the default formatting:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
.. contents::
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whitespace
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Blocks should be indented with 3 spaces, and no tabs
|
|
|
|
Code blocks
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Code blocks should be created using
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
This is regular text.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
This is a code block.
|
|
|
|
Headings
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
RST allows headings to be created simply by underlining with any punctuation
|
|
characters. Optionally the text may be overlined to.
|
|
|
|
For the sake of consistency, libvirt defines the following style requirement
|
|
which allows for 6 levels of headings
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
=========
|
|
Heading 1
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Heading 2
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Heading 3
|
|
---------

Heading 5
|
|
.........

|
|
|
|
Heading 6
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Tables
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Tables should be created using the ``list-table`` directive whenever
|
|
possible, as in
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
.. list-table::
|
|
:header-rows: 1
|
|
|
|
* - Option
|
|
- Description
|
|
|
|
* - ``foo_enabled``
|
|
- Whether or not ``foo`` should be enabled
|
|
|
|
* - ``bar_user``
|
|
- Which user to run ``bar`` as
|
|
|
|
