This PR includes:
- A fix for multiple-choice defaults
- A fix for messed up dictionary samples
- Cleaner defaults when they don't appear part of choices
* Improve default values and choices in module docs
So currently we show defaults and choices in separate columns.
For each parameter we have
- Mostly empty default and choices cells
- A list of choices and a separate default value
- Only a default value
So there's a lot of space being wasted on empty cells.
We can do this better.
* Improve Parameters section
* Add Choices back into column header
* Ensure the tables spans the complete page width
* allow ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES for local test runner
* add ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES to tox.ini, update docs
* Clarify handling of environment variables.
* Improve module docs return values
Currently the 5 columns shown doesn't make optimal use of the screen
estate, especially for facts modules this is a problem.
* Add returned facts as a separate section
* Remove whitespace and add support section
Since Notes were moved higher up, the Author, Status and Maintainer
information was now placed under the Return Values section.
* Switch Last Updated and Copyright
* Remove Sphinx/Read-the-Docs plug on every doc page
No need to have this on every page.
This fixes#37021
* Reinstated RTD credit with revised wording.
* Re-removed RTD footer boilerplate.
* Make use of named links in documentation notes
Now that it is possible to name external links, we are making use of
this to make the documentation better.
* Add improvements to ACI documentation
* Disable QA for long line
* Add :menuselection: and :guilabel:
* Improve links on some modules
* Adds the ability to override the doc build output from the command line.
* For safety, removed straight rm of BUILDDIR and removed subdirectories instead.
* Added check to see if BUILDDIR was defined to main makefile
* Automatically stuff reference in commit message
So we probably want to track which edits were performed through the
Github interface, and this change automatically adds a label to the
commit message.
```yaml
<!--- Your description here -->
+label: docsite_pr
```
Eventually this allows to (on regular basis) list the changes from
documentation readers and process them in a separate process.
So I am still not satisfied with how required parameters are being
displayed (before it was yes/no, then it became required/optional, and
only required).
Now it will display in small green 'required' under the parameter name.
This is more convenient, and provides more room for the description.
Especially on smaller screens.
So people reading the module documentation usually look for parameters
first, and are interested in examples. However the notes are at the very
end even below the Return Values (the least interesting part).
So this change moves the notes higher up, below parameters, but before
examples so people at least see the notes.
* Explain what the Ansible Quickstart video does
Rewrote what video does. The video is really not teaching you how to do the work. It explains why you'd want to use Ansible and shows you what it takes (some sample code) . Video also introduces you to other products in the Ansible ecosystem.
* Edit
* Workaround for non-string values
So I think the proper fix should go into html_ify, which should convert
any value into a string, rather than expecting strings only.
* My preferred solution
This PR includes:
- Indentation of Jinja constructs
- Put parameter name in bold
- Title-case table headers
- Show 'required' when parameter is required (not yes/no)
- Left-align all values
This PR includes:
- An improvement to the parameter listing, where instead of yes/no, it
is indicated with required/optional (easier when scrolling through a
long list of parameters)
- Ensure that module reference, eg. M(foobar) do not include the module
document title
This PR includes:
- A fix to untemplated {{ plugin_type }} in docs
- Remove the additional info on how to edit module docs (see #36667)
- Add missing delimiter
This is something I always wanted, a 'Edit on GitHub' button for module
documentation.
I also removed the additional statement in the footer with instructions
on how to edit the module documentation.
PS The links go directly into the GitHub file editor now !
* Fixed indentation error in `facts-demo.yml` example.
`content` and `dest` should be indented under the `copy` module.
* Updated indentation of copy module in `facts-demo.yml` example.
Updated indentation of copy module in `facts-demo.yml` to be inline with its name.
* Add anchors to some guides and all module categories
This is required if we want to use *absolute* :ref: references instead of *relative* :doc: references.
* Update the Cisco ACI Guide reference
* Add `aci_guide` anchor
* Add `network_guide` anchor
* Add category anchor
* Improve readability
* Fix small typo
* Add instructions for creating backport PRs
* Update development_process.rst
simpler workflow
* Update development_process.rst
added origin note
* A few adjustments to clarity, use backport instead of cherry pick in branch name
* Address formatting issue
* fetch isn't a flag
* Fix rst formatting
