The cmake-language.7 manual now documents comment syntax. Reference it
from cmake-developer.7 when discussing how to add comment-enclosed
documentation to modules.
Simply print out the lines as normal paragraph text. Teach the
CMakeLib.testRST test to cover this syntax. Update the
cmake-developer.7 manual to document support for the directives.
Add the man page description line as explicit markup at the top of each
Help/manual/*.rst file and scan it from conf.py to automatically
generate the man_pages Sphinx configuration value. This reduces the
number of places that need to be changed when a new manual is added.
When scanning CMake module files for .rst comments, recognize
bracket comments starting in ".rst:" too. For example:
#[[.rst:
Include the bracket comment content terminated by the closing bracket.
Exclude the line containing the bracket if it starts in "#".
Teach the CMakeLib.testRST test to cover multiple bracket lengths
and ending brackets on lines with and without "#".
Update the cmake-developer.7 manual to document the bracket-comment
syntax for .rst documentation.
The cmRST implementation and the list of capabilities documented in the
cmake-developer.7 manual must be kept in sync. Add a note to each file
to reference the other.
Document how CMake uses reStructuredText to provide the help manuals.
Cover supported inline markup and directives, the CMake Domain in
Sphinx, and cross-reference syntax.
Add "Module Documentation" and "Find Modules" subsections. Add to
Modules/readme.txt a textual reference to the cmake-developer.7 manual
and, while at it, fix the wiki URL domain.
Convert the content moved from Modules/readme.txt to valid
reStructuredText markup. Mainly, convert the lists of variables to
definition lists, wrap long lines in paragraph text, and add literal
block markup and indentation.
Move all content from Modules/readme.txt except for the link to the
module maintainers wiki page into "Help/manual/cmake-developer.7.rst".
This produces some invalid reStructuredText markup to be fixed in a
future commit.
