[PATCH 26/30] padata.txt: standardize document format

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

 



Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- mark document title;
- mark literal blocks.
