Subject: docs: kernel_include.py: add support to generate a TOC table
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e4d91787deffffa64abd397315d4f7e4a3cf02f3;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

docs: kernel_include.py: add support to generate a TOC table

When generate-cross-refs is used, instead of just implementing
the default of generating a literal block, we can also
generate a ReST file as a TOC.

The advantage is that, by being a ReST file, missing references
will point to the place inside the header file that has the
broken link.
