[PATCH 04/30] IRQ-domain.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:

- use proper markups for titles;
- mark literal blocks as such;
- add blank lines where needed.
