Dag Wieers 31e7d735a3 win_environment: Make this the Windows reference module
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.

Austin S. Hemmelgarn d5ae9d1018 Fix build on Python 3.x by using sys.maxsize. (#30424)
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:
make -j1 docs
mkdir -p ./docs/man/man1/ ; \
PYTHONPATH=./lib docs/bin/generate_man.py --template-file=docs/templates/man.j2 --output-dir=docs/man/man1/ --output-format man lib/ansible/cli/*.py

Adrian Likins da15cf1f54 Generate plugin rst (#28901)
Generate rst docs for plugins 

Based on rst generated for modules. But generated plugin
docs go into docs/docsite/rst/plugins/$PLUGIN_TYPE/plugin_name.rst
( docs/docsite/rst/plugins/connection/ssh.py for ex)

* move plugins docs to rst/*_plugins/ subdirs for namespace
* Only gen support pages for modules for now.
* Add generated plugin docs to gitignore* add list_*_plugins templates
* support MODULES/PLUGINS filters for make htmldocs

   Add a 'PLUGINS=ssh' filter env var like MODULES to filter plugins to build docs for.

* fixup 'historical' version_added, skip plugins/loader.py
* Fix plugins_by_support ref link to new plugins/*/ location
* use :ref: for common_return_values, allow empty version_added
* warnings on missing doc info
* add a prefix to _random_choice

Adrian Likins 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.

Ganesh Nalawade 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.

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>`

Andreas Maier 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.

Unfortunately, the Github interface does no longer allow me to edit a file in the GUI and then branch it in my personal clone for making a PR. It now only offers to make a PR using a branch on the ansible repository :-(

So committing this directly instead against my will, but per the guidelines this appears to be safe. Fingers crossed...

Branko Majic f78baa1300 Implement ability to limit module documentation building (#24576)
* Implement ability to limit module documentation building:

- Added new option to plugin_formatter.py to support passing-in a list of
  modules for which the documentation should be built.
- Updated docuemtnation Makefile to allow specifying list of modules via
  environment variables (defaulting to all modules).
- Update instructions for building documentation and module development to
  include commands and description of limiting module documentation builds.

* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:

- Pass list of modules (or None) to list_modules function instead of string.
- Move conversion of module list to argument parsing code.
- No special keywords. Default ("") means build all modules. For no modules just
  specify non-existing module name.
- Updated documentation to reflect the changes.

* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:

- Use better default value, and don't treat "" as special case.
- Conditionally invoke different variants of command in Makefile instead of
  using special value "".

Abhijit Menon-Sen 20b0716948 Allow variables to be passed in to template lookup plugin (#18662)
This allows a single template to be evaluated with different values in
the same task. For example, with a template like 'x:{{a}}', one could do
something like this:

    - foo:
        a: "{{ lookup('template', 'x.j2', template_vars=dict(a=foo[item])) }}"
        b: "{{ lookup('template', 'x.j2', template_vars=dict(a=bar[item])) }}"
      with_items:
        - x
        - y

…and "a" and "b" would expand to different strings based on what we
passed in to the template lookup.

We do want to allow certain from __future__ imports in modules that make
it easier to code compatible python2 and python3.  Note that
unicode_literals is specifically left out and should never be allowed.
Now that python-3.4+ allows u"" there's no good reason to use
unicode_literals.

Initial commit to split includes into static imports/dynamic includes

This implements the new include/import syntax for Ansible 2.4:
* include_{tasks,role,variables} = dynamic
* import_{playbook,tasks,role} = static

The old bare `include` will be considered deprecated, as will any use of the `static: {yes|no}` option.

This also adds docs for import/include and reorganizing the "Playbook Reuse" section of the documentation.

Dag Wieers cce133b14f WinRM: Add operation and read timeout variables to docs (#24922)
* Add operation and read timeout variables to docs

Since WinRM is not the most reliable protocol, it may be necessary to increase its timeout values to get a better experience.

* Update intro_windows.rst

Great idea to add this.
I changed 'experienced' -> 'experience' (present continuous rather than past tense).  Added some . to be consistent with other lines.

James Cammarata ed56f51f18 Fixing security issue with lookup returns not tainting the jinja2 environment
CVE-2017-7481

Lookup returns wrap the result in unsafe, however when used through the
standard templar engine, this does not result in the jinja2 environment being
marked as unsafe as a whole. This means the lookup result looses the unsafe
protection and may become simple unicode strings, which can result in bad
things being re-templated.

This also adds a global lookup param and cfg options for lookups to allow
unsafe returns, so users can force the previous (insecure) behavior.

Adrian Likins 5618f494a8 Fix docs/api sphinx-build err on 'make rpm' (#24334)
The makefile in docs/api/ had a top level check for the
'sphinx-build' tool, but the check was getting triggered
on 'make clean' when it is not needed and causing 'make rpm'
and similar builds to fail.

So this commit removes the check.

Also removed the comments about [Python 3 not being mainstream](http://python3wos.mybluemix.net/201).
