From d6a3b247627a3bc0551504eb305d624cc6fb5453 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2019 14:53:03 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] docs: scheduler: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst In order to prepare to add them to the Kernel API book, convert the files to ReST format. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
