| Subject | [PATCH 05/30] irqflags-tracing.txt: standardize document format |
| Message-ID | <tIETW-39a-71@gated-at.bofh.it> |
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: There isn't much to be done here: just mark the document title as such and add a :Author:. While here, use upper case at the beginning of a few paragraphs that start with lower case.
