Subject: Docs: An initial automarkup extension for sphinx
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d74b0d31dddeac2b44c715588d53d9a1e5b1158e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

Docs: An initial automarkup extension for sphinx

Rather than fill our text files with :c:func:`function()` syntax, just do
the markup via a hook into the sphinx build process.
