* 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
After initializing a list in both Python2/Python3 with below elements,
I've tested the indexing and realised that the examples provided in the
documentation are erroneous.
As a result, update the examples with correct values in order to avoid
any future confusion.

* Adding extra blank line for shippable
Since we pass information directly to ACI, we sometimes get error messages back to the user that require some additional information or context.
This PR includes:
- Changes to the default error output so the error is easier to find
when searching in e.g. Google
- 3 specific error messages that we have encountered and has confused
our users before
* Change wording of Going Further section
The original wording was confusing with its non-devel branch part.
Made it much clearer for people to understand what to do.
Also removed the git command for creating branches, I believe a
develop should be aware of how basic git commands work.
* Edited for concision and clarity.
* Typo fix
* Typo fix
* Assorted set of fixes
* Cosmetic changes to lists
* Add more information related to connection throttling
* Changes to TOC
* Document return values
* More improvements
* Fix casing in title
* Add examples to YAMLSyntax; fix minor issues and improve wording
I added proper titles to "Flow Collections" and "Block Scalars", because these
are official YAML Terms, so people can find better help when having issues.
I changed the "ignored newlines" to "folded newlines" because I think ignoring
gives a wrong impression, especially since empty lines (more than one newline)
are not ignored and have a special meaning.
I added an example how to enforce a newline in a folded block scalar.
I fixed the list of characters that are allowed/not allowed in plain and
double quoted scalars.
I added the #yaml channel to the IRC link.
I added links to the YAML Specs. For completeness, I also included YAML 1.2,
although PyYAML and libyaml currently implement 1.1.
* Improve wording
* Add three more characters to forbidden first characters
* Update some examples to use proper YAML syntax.
* Make the requested changes so this builds properly.
Also fix emphasis line numbers to match what was being emphasized before
the change.
This change deprecates vsphere_guest in favor of vmware_guest and other
related modules.
The major reasons behind deprecation are -
- Pysphere - Unofficial Python bindings of vCenter deprecated in the year 2013.
- VMware provides official Python bindings for vCenter, which is used in vmware_guest.
- vcsim - simulator used in integration testing of vmware module does not support PySphere
APIs, which makes it more difficult to test vsphere_guest.

Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.
* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index
To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
removed_module()
```
The script fails if a Temp directory is not present in the system drive (e.g. C:\Temp).
This can be solved by using the TEMP environment variable instead.
Comparing the old module docs, with the devel docs the
options/arguments/parameters are no longer sorted.
Also, both in the old module docs and the devel docs the result values
are not sorted where they probably should.
This fix corrects the module state returned by github_module.
Now,
* When the release already exists, state is "ok"

This was an additional feature anyhow.
Kept the use of pwd as a fallback but moved it to a second ssh

Even though the command is very simple, it's good to be able to c&p it.

Since yum is not installed by default on any supported Fedora releases
(F26 and F28 currently), recommend dnf.

avoid making gathered facts high precedence, only set_fact is supposed to be.
vars set via set_fact with cacheable are higher precedence than plain facts.
Previously (after 6fbd0a8bb5) regular facts would end up with a
higher precedence than host or play vars, but they should not be. Facts were getting added to 'non_persistent_facts' (equivalent to 'register' vars) which is higher precedence than facts should be.

reason: The link is showing verbatim in the docs, where it should only

* Improve and link Network Proxy docs

As discussed before we selected win_environment to the documentation,
and point to win_uri for a more advanced module.
If we want to make this the reference module, we have to get this one
absolutely right in every possible way.
This PR cleans up both win_environment and win_uri, and makes the
required changes to the windows module development section.
As outlined in https://docs.python.org/3.1/whatsnew/3.0.html#integers,
sys.maxint doesn't exist anymore in Python 3.x because there is no maximum
value for integers in Python 3.x. sys.maxsize is present in all
versions of Python that are currently supported by Ansible, so use that
instead as an arbitrarily large index value.
Fixes the following build error when building with Python 3.x:

* facts_namespacing was pushed back to 2.5
Due to lack of time we pushed this back to 2.5 so that the facts in the namespace could be shortened.
* Python version
* Remove FIXMEs - move to seperate PR
* Consistency and document treatment of default bool values
* Document that default bool values can be any Ansible recognized bool.
choose the one that reads better in context
* For fragments used by the copy module, make bool types use type=bool and not choices
* Edit for clarity
* 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.
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.
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.
* Use a rst glossary for playbooks_keywords docs
* Add a 'Task' and 'Tasks' to glossary.
* Update keywords desciptions,
* use :term: rst ref, some quoting
* Make it more obvious that 'retries' and 'until' need to be used in combination.
* 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>`
Since json_query treats backticks as delimiters for literals,
some of the examples in the json_query docs can be made a little
simpler. Rather than replacing such examples, demonstrate the
alternative
The variable was pointing to a file with a `.cer` extension but the curl command downloads a `.pem` file which makes executions of the bash script fail
