[PATCH v2] docs: Fix reST markup when linking to sections

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



During the process of converting the documentation to reST, some links
were converted using the following wrong syntax (and sometimes using %20
instead of spaces):

   `Display text <#section-name-in-html>`__

This syntax isn't valid according to the docutils' spec [1], but more
importantly, it is specific to HTML, since it uses '#' to link to an
HTML anchor.

The right syntax would instead use a docutils hyperlink reference as the
embedded URI to point to the section [2], that is:

   `Display text <Section Name_>`__

This syntax works in both HTML and PDF.

The LaTeX toolchain doesn't mind the HTML anchor syntax when generating
the pdf documentation (make pdfdocs), that is, the build succeeds but
the links don't work, but that syntax causes errors when trying to build
using the not-yet-merged rst2pdf:

   ValueError: format not resolved, probably missing URL scheme or undefined destination target for 'Forcing%20Quiescent%20States'

So, use the correct syntax in order to have it work in all different
output formats.

Changes in v2:
- Thanks to Mauro:
  - Simplify the syntax of some links by taking advantage of docutils'
    case-insensitivity when dealing with references.
