[PATCH v2 2/3] docs: submit-checklist: use subheadings

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

 



During review (see Link), Jani Nikula suggested to use proper subheadings
instead of using italics to indicate the different new top-level
categories in the checklist. Further the top heading should follow the
common scheme.

Use subheadings. Adjust to common heading adornment.
