* qapi: Flatten object-addKevin Wolf2020-03-061-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mapping object-add to the command line as is doesn't result in nice syntax because of the nesting introduced with 'props'. This becomes nicer and more consistent with device_add and netdev_add when we accept properties for the object on the top level instead. 'props' is still accepted after this patch, but marked as deprecated.

* docs: Remove old texinfo sourcesPeter Maydell2020-03-0629-3381/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We can now delete the old .texi files, which we have been keeping in the tree as a parallel set of documentation to the new rST sources. The only remaining use of Texinfo is the autogenerated manuals and HTML documents created from the QAPI JSON doc comments.

* docs: Split out sections for the manpage into .rst.inc filesPeter Maydell2020-03-068-351/+356
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sphinx doesn't have very good facilities for marking chunks of documentation as "put this in the manpage only". So instead we move the parts we want to put into both the HTML manuals and the manpage into their own .rst.inc files, which we can include from both the main manual rst files and a new toplevel rst file that will be the skeleton of the qemu.1 manpage. In this commit, just split out the parts of the documentation that go in the manpage.

* qemu-options.hx: Fix up the autogenerated rSTPeter Maydell2020-03-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit contains hand-written fixes for some issues with the autogenerated rST fragments in qemu-options.hx: * Sphinx complains about the UTF-8 art table in the documentation of the -drive option. Replace it with a proper rST format table. * rST does not like definition list entries with no actual definition, but it is possible to work around this by putting a single escaped literal space as the definition line. * The "-g widthxheight" option documentation suffers particularly badly from losing the distinction between italics and fixed-width as a result of the auto conversion, so put it back in again. * The script missed some places that use the |qemu_system| etc macros and need to be marked up as parsed-literal blocks. * The script autogenerated an expanded out version of the contents of qemu-option-trace.texi; replace it with an qemu-option-trace.rst.inc include. This is sufficient that we can enable inclusion of the option documentation from invocation.rst.

* docs: Roll -prom-env and -g target-specific info into qemu-options.hxPeter Maydell2020-03-066-119/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SPARC and PPC targets currently have a fragment of target-specific information about the -g and -prom options which would be better placed as part of the general documentation of those options in qemu-options.hx. Move the relevant information to those locations. SPARC also has a bit of text about the -M option which is out of date and provides no useful information over the generic documentation of that option, so just delete it. The motivation here is again to avoid having to awkwardly include this text into the rST version of the qemu.1 manpage.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the per-target documentation for those targets that implement semihosting includes a bit of text that goes into both the manual and the manpage about options specific to the target. This text is redundant with the earlier generic option description of the semihosting option produced from qemu-options.hx. To avoid having to create a lot of stub include files to include into the rST generated qemu.1 manpage, roll target-specific bits of information into the qemu-options.hx text, so the user doesn't have to look in two places for this information.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The qemu-block-drivers documentation is currently in docs/qemu-block-drivers.texi in Texinfo format, which we present to the user as: * a qemu-block-drivers manpage * a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to the user as: * a qemu-block-drivers manpage * part of the system/ Sphinx manual This follows the same pattern we've done for qemu-ga and qemu-nbd. We have to drop a cross-reference from the documentation of the -cdrom option back to the qemu-block-drivers documentation, since they're no longer within the same texinfo document. As noted in a comment, the manpage output is slightly compromised due to limitations in Sphinx. In an ideal world, the HTML output would have the various headings like 'Disk image file formats' as top-level section headings (which then appear in the overall system manual's table-of-contents), and it would not have the section headings which make sense only for the manpage like 'synopsis', 'description', and 'see also'. Unfortunately, the mechanism Sphinx provides for restricting pieces of documentation is limited to the point of being flawed: the 'only::' directive is implemented as a filter that is applied at a very late stage in the document processing pipeline, rather than as an early equivalent of an #ifdef. This means that Sphinx's process of identifying which section heading markup styles are which levels of heading gets confused if the 'only::' directive contains section headings which would affect the heading-level of a later heading. I have opted to prioritise making the HTML format look better, with the compromise being that in the manpage the 'Disk image file formats' &c headings are top-level headings rather than being sub-headings under the traditional 'Description' top-level section title.
