So once upon a time I set out to fix the problem reported by Tobin wherein a literal block within a kerneldoc comment would be corrupted in processing. On the way, though, I got annoyed at the way I have to learn how kernel-doc works from the beginning every time I tear into it. As a result, seven of the following eight patches just get rid of some dead code and reorganize the rest - mostly turning the 500-line process_file() function into something a bit more rational. Sphinx output is unchanged after these are applied. Then, at the end, there's a tweak to stop messing with literal blocks. If anybody was unaware that I've not done any serious Perl since the 1990's, they will certainly understand that fact now.
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
