Alex Merry fcdf86d004 Help: Rewrite the cmake-developer.7 find module documentation
As well as the traditional variables, providing imported targets is
suggested, and the relative advantages and disadvantages briefly
discussed.

A mini-tutorial walking through creating a simple find module is
provided.

This changes the recommended version variable from Foo_VERSION_STRING to
Foo_VERSION, because there is really no need to have different variable
names for package version files vs. find modules.  It notes the old
variable name, though, and suggests setting it for compatibility.

Brad King 79fd233806 Help: Reference cmake-language.7 comment docs from cmake-developer.7
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.

Brad King 450b515ad0 cmRST: Add support for the note and productionlist directives
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.

Brad King f88332f5b7 Help: Glob manual/*.rst in Sphinx configuration
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.

Brad King 2945814de2 cmRST: Teach cmake-module directive to scan bracket comments
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.

Brad King 8bb2ee96cc cmake-developer.7: Improve flow of module documentation instructions

the cmake-module directive is covered contiguously.

Brad King a06a90f457 Help: Organize cmake-developer.7 manual Modules section

Kitware Robot 28f08ba25c Help: Fix module documentation markup in cmake-developer.7 manual
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.

Kitware Robot baaab068f2 Help: Move Modules/readme.txt content into cmake-developer.7 manual
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.
