It looks like you use the RST format, but you use suffix .txt and not .rst.

If you don't know, these files get rendered on:
 https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/bpf/index.html

And GitHub also render this stuff e.g.
 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst
