dfc0084f01 rename dev..general_OLD.rst to ._rst (#30291)
So we don't try to build the rst, since it causes
lots of warnings to be shown and doesn't render correctly.

9cc63326b1 Misc docsite fixes (#30290)
* Fix refs for local_facts and various cli :option:
* Fix dev_guide/testing_pep8 refs
* remove ref to non-existing 'developing_test_pr'
* Fix ref to ansible-vault encrypt_string
* Removed hard-to-localize colloquialism.
* Rename '_ansible-pull' in playbooks_intro.

It was conflicting with rst/ansible-pull.rst. Nothing
seems to reference it.

* Add explicit targets for and update refs

Replace some ':doc:' use with ':ref:'.

Replace some :ref: to section names with explicit targets
(:doc:`Dynamic vs. Static` -> :ref:`dynamic_vs_static` etc)

* The 'YAML+Jinja' syntax lex fails here, so just use yaml

Since the yaml+jinja highlight fails, code wasnt highlighted
at all, but 'yaml' works more or less.

* just use no lexer for the < python2.6 examples

py3 will fail highlighting them, and 'python2' throws
a lexer warning, and nothing actually highlights it, so
just disable.

530988666a Allow delegate_to if transport is not cli (#29945)
Fixes #29060

Allow delegate_to if transport is either nxapi or eapi.

Persistent connection uses `cli` transport and create
a local socket on control node. Hence delegate_to is not allowed
for `cli` transport.

However as `nxapi` and `eapi` transport does not use persistent connection
it is possible to use delegate_to in this case.

ff13d58c14 Remove use of unicode_literals as it is an anti-pattern
from __future__ unicode_literals leads to developer confusion as
developers no longer can tell whether a bare literal string is a byte
string or a unicode string.  Explicit marking as u"" or b"" is the way
to solve the same problem in the Ansbile codebase.

89c973445c generate rst doc pages for command line tools (#27530)
* let generate_man also gen rst pages for cli tools
* make template-file, output-dir, output format cli options for generate_man
* update main Makefile to use generate_man.py for docs (man pages and rst)
* update vault docs that use :option:
* Edits based on
6e34ea6242 and
a3afc78535

* add a optparse 'desc' to lib/ansible/cli/config.py 

  The man page needs a short desc for the 'NAME' field
  which it gets from the option parse 'desc' value.

  Fixes building ansible-config man page.

* add trim_docstring from pep257 to generate_man

  use pep258 docstring trim function to fix up any indention
  weirdness inherit to doc strings (ie, lines other than
  first line being indented.

* Add refs to cli command actions

To reference ansible-vaults --vault-id option, use:

:option:`The link text here <ansible-vault --vault-id>`

or:

:option:`--vault-id <ansible-vault --vault-id>`

To reference ansible-vault's 'encrypt' action, use:

:ref:`The link text here <ansible_vault_encrypt>`

or most of the time:

:ref:`ansible-vault encrypt <ansible_vault_encrypt>`

b900f4a3be Fixed return table in module docs generated by plugin_formatter.py (#25329) (#25330)
This change fixes two issues with the generated return table:

1. When specifying a list of strings in the 'description' field of a
   return value, it shows them in Python list syntax on the resulting
   web page, e.g. `['a', 'b', 'c']`.
2. When specifying more than one line for the 'sample' field, the
   result table gets damaged in the HTML output.

In addition, this change re-arranges the HTML tags produced in the
generated RST file such that they line up nicely and can better be
checked by humans for completeness.

ebfdbfb819 New content for bugs and features (#27911)
1. Copied over content from existing rst/community.rst page (which will be refactored once all these pages are in.)

2. For features, pointed to the Proposals section, which we should probably leave in ansible/proposals, where it is actively used.
