* Docs: Add a separate "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.
So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.
seealso:
# Reference by module name
- module: aci_tenant
# Reference by module name, including description
- module: aci_tenant
description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.
# Reference by rST documentation anchor
- ref: aci_guide
description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.
# Reference by Internet resource
- name: APIC Management Information Model reference
description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.

This PR also includes:
- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
- This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)
* Use latest stable instead of devel docs

Homepage and documentation source for Ansible
This project hosts the source behind docs.ansible.com
Contributions to the documentation are welcome. To make changes, submit a pull request that changes the reStructuredText files in the rst/ directory only, and the core team can do a docs build and push the static files.
If you wish to verify output from the markup such as link references, you may install sphinx and build the documentation by running make webdocs from the ansible/docsite directory.
To include module documentation you'll need to run make webdocs at the top level of the repository. The generated html files are in docsite/htmlout/.
To limit module documentation building to a specific module, run MODULES=NAME make webdocs instead. This should make testing module documentation syntax much faster. Instead of a single module, you can also specify a comma-separated list of modules. In order to skip building documentation for all modules, specify non-existing module name, for example MODULES=none make webdocs.
If you do not want to learn the reStructuredText format, you can also file issues about documentation problems on the Ansible GitHub project.
Note that module documentation can actually be generated from a DOCUMENTATION docstring in the modules directory, so corrections to modules written as such need to be made in the module source, rather than in docsite source.
To install sphinx and the required theme, install pip and then "pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme"
HEADERS
RST allows for arbitrary hierchy for the headers, it will 'learn on the fly' but we want a standard so all our documents can follow:
##########################
# with overline, for parts
##########################
*****************************
* with overline, for chapters
*****************************
=, for sections
===============
-, for subsections
------------------
^, for sub-subsections
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
", for paragraphs
"""""""""""""""""
We do have pages littered with ```````` headers, but those should be removed for one of the above.
