2024-10-27Documentation: Remove ditaa supportNicholas Chin
Ditaa is a utility to convert ascii block diagrams into bitmap graphics. The latest sphinx-contrib-ditaa extension has not been updated since 2022 [1] and does not declare whether it is safe for parallel reading, causing sphinx to issue a warning as we use the `-j auto` flag to parallelize the build. It doesn't seem like anyone ever used it in the docs aside from a now abandoned patch [2], so just remove it.

2024-08-25Docs/conf.py: Explicitly define external URL schemesNicholas Chin
By default, any URL with a scheme of "http", "https", "ftp", or "mailto" is treated as an external link. Since the "ircs" scheme is not included, the IRC link in community/forums.md does not get resolved as an external link, and instead tries to link to a header in the docs themselves. Fix this by explicitly defining which schemes should resolve to external links using the myst_url_schemes configuration option [1], which is now set to the default schemes along with "ircs". This fixes the "cross-reference target not found" warning for 'ircs://irc.libera.chat/#coreboot' [1] https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax/cross-referencing.html#customising-external-url-resolution Change-Id: I9e1c76b2bacbacaa06340f940c76b50de38e43e8 Signed-off-by: Nicholas Chin <nic.c3.14@gmail.com> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/84069 Reviewed-by: Nico Huber <nico.h@gmx.de> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org>
2024-03-21Docs: Replace Recommonmark with MyST ParserNicholas Chin
Recommonmark has been deprecated since 2021 [1] and the last release was over 3 years ago [2]. As per their announcement, Markedly Structured Text (MyST) Parser [3] is the recommended replacement. For the most part, the existing documentation is compatible with MyST, as both parsers are built around the CommonMark flavor of Markdown. The main difference that affects coreboot is how the Sphinx toctree is generated. Recommonmark has a feature called auto_toc_tree, which converts single level lists of references into a toctree: * [Part 1: Starting from scratch](part1.md) * [Part 2: Submitting a patch to coreboot.org](part2.md) * [Part 3: Writing unit tests](part3.md) * [Managing local additions](managing_local_additions.md) * [Flashing firmware](flashing_firmware/index.md) MyST Parser does not provide a replacement for this feature, meaning the toctree must be defined manually. This is done using MyST's syntax for Sphinx directives: ```{toctree} :maxdepth: 1 Part 1: Starting from scratch <part1.md> Part 2: Submitting a patch to coreboot.org <part2.md> Part 3: Writing unit tests <part3.md> Managing local additions <managing_local_additions.md> Flashing firmware <flashing_firmware/index.md> ``` Internally, auto_toc_tree essentially converts lists of references into the Sphinx toctree structure that the MyST syntax above more directly represents. The toctrees were converted to the MyST syntax using the following command and Python script: `find ./ -iname "*.md" | xargs -n 1 python conv_toctree.py` ``` import re import sys in_list = False f = open(sys.argv[1]) lines = f.readlines() f.close() with open(sys.argv[1], "w") as f: for line in lines: match = re.match(r"^[-*+] \[(.*)\]\((.*)\)$", line) if match is not None: if not in_list: in_list = True f.write("```{toctree}\n") f.write(":maxdepth: 1\n\n") f.write(match.group(1) + " <" + match.group(2) + ">\n") else: if in_list: f.write("```\n") f.write(line) in_list = False if in_list: f.write("```\n") ``` While this does add a little more work for creating the toctree, this does give more control over exactly what goes into the toctree. For instance, lists of links to external resources currently end up in the toctree, but we may want to limit it to pages within coreboot. This change does break rendering and navigation of the documentation in applications that can render Markdown, such as Okular, Gitiles, or the GitHub mirror. Assuming the docs are mainly intended to be viewed after being rendered to doc.coreboot.org, this is probably not an issue in practice. Another difference is that MyST natively supports Markdown tables, whereas with Recommonmark, tables had to be written in embedded rST [4]. However, MyST also supports embedded rST, so the existing tables can be easily converted as the syntax is nearly identical. These were converted using `find ./ -iname "*.md" | xargs -n 1 sed -i "s/eval_rst/{eval-rst}/"` Makefile.sphinx and conf.py were regenerated from scratch by running `sphinx-quickstart` using the updated version of Sphinx, which removes a lot of old commented out boilerplate. Any relevant changes coreboot had made on top of the previous autogenerated versions of these files were ported over to the newly generated file. From some initial testing the generated webpages appear and function identically to the existing documentation built with Recommonmark. TEST: `make -C util/docker docker-build-docs` builds the documentation successfully and the generated output renders properly when viewed in a web browser.

2023-09-21Documentation: Remove unused build targetsFelix Singer
The options in conf.py for the following build targets are either commented out or contain example values, which suggests that there was no interest in them recently. Their comments also seem more like generated examples. * LaTeX * man pages * Texinfo In order to clean up our configs and scripts for the documentation, remove the configuration options from conf.py for these build targets. Also, remove the build targets responsible for generating a PDF file from Makefile. Don't touch Makefile.sphinx for now though as we usually wrap around it. We may bring these build targets back if there is real interest in them, but it seems only the HTML target was really used.

2023-08-20Documentation: Fix conf.py for newer Sphinx versionsNicholas Chin
Newer versions of Sphinx complain about the language being set to None, so explicitly set it to 'en'. The syntax that is currently used to enable custom CSS styling for tables [1] also no longer works, resulting in the docs rendering without CSS. Fix this using the html_css_files option instead. TEST: The documentation builds and renders correctly with both Sphinx 1.8.3 in from the doc.coreboot.org Docker container and Sphinx 7.2.2 from distro packages.
