Dale Sedivec 7681b1ce68 Improve Markdown (and other) module doc output
- The html_ify filter now escapes HTML found in module documentation.
  THIS COULD AFFECT MORE THAN JUST MARKDOWN but I didn't see any modules
  expecting to use e.g. HTML entities or HTML tags in their
  documentation.

- The markdown_ify filter (used as jpfunc in markdown.j2) escapes at
  least a few Markdown in-line formatting characters.

- Improvements to markdown.j2:

    - Call jpfunc on the module name heading so that it gets escaped for
      Markdown (e.g. my_module_name becomes my\_module\_name).

    - Added paragraph breaks between paragraphs in the description.

    - Added examples heading, which is consistent with the notes heading
      below it.

'Hacking' directory tools

Env-setup

The 'env-setup' script modifies your environment to allow you to run ansible from a git checkout using python 2.6+. (You may not use python 3 at this time).

First, set up your environment to run from the checkout:

$ source ./hacking/env-setup

You will need some basic prerequisites installed. If you do not already have them and do not wish to install them from your operating system package manager, you can install them from pip

$ easy_install pip               # if pip is not already available
$ pip install pyyaml jinja2

From there, follow ansible instructions on ansible.cc/docs as normal.

Test-module

'test-module' is a simple program that allows module developers (or testers) to run a module outside of the ansible program, locally, on the current machine.

Example:

$ ./hacking/test-module -m library/shell -a "echo hi"

This is a good way to insert a breakpoint into a module, for instance.

Module-formatter

The module formatter is a script used to generate manpages and online module documentation. This is used by the system makefiles and rarely needs to be run directly.

Authors

'authors' is a simple script that generates a list of everyone who has contributed code to the ansible repository.
