* Add missing > to fix 'edit this document' link (#39067)
(cherry picked from commit ebdf6d0fab)
* Fix problems in documentation generation (#40050)
* Treat C(...) as inline literal (as opposed to interpreted text).
* Making test for true and false more precise, to avoid matching 1, 1.0, etc.
* The 'is sameas' test already takes care of definedness.

* Namespace the aliases ref target by plugin type (#38925)
(cherry picked from commit 7ce1afebf0)
* Use colspan on td instead of divs for hierarchical tables (#39948)
Address Firefox table-rendering issues in docs. Refactor to use colspan to provide table cells which can vary in width and indentation; the outermost has the greatest colspan, and each nested key has a colspan of one less than the parent, with padding cells for indentation.
Apply styling to table cells to get the table height to work without hacks or browser-specific
styling. Simplify the markup and CSS by removing extra divs. Use two passes over the options, return values, and return facts in the Jinja2 module-docs template: one to determine the maximum nesting depth to compute the maximum colspan needed, plus one to lay out the rows.

* Update the documentation to list Python 3 as official
* Add some reference targets for inventory variables so we can link to docs
* Add a platform FAQ section
Populate it with
* virtualenv info (previously on the python3 support page)
* BSD (Link to the working with BSD page)
* Solaris (Document how to work around the non-POSIX shell on some
Solaris hosts)
Fixes#21594
* Fix some refs in the release_and_maintenance document
* Fix unindent error in module template
Fix for the module/plugin template unintentionally unindented inside of
a raw block, leading to errors like:
ERROR: docs/docsite/rst/modules/redshift_facts_module.rst:289:0: Explicit markup ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
* Make wording for Solaris troubleshooting better.
(cherry picked from commit a08459a814)
The :ref: syntax is for linking to targets which are defined for the
whole document tree. `link`_ is for linking to targets which are inside
of the document. We want the latter for deprecated sections because
otherwise we'd have to create namespaced link targets for them.
Also fix expansion of version a deprecated module will be removed in
(cherry picked from commit 25523666ce)
* centralize doc/config plugin lists
also update list for generation in docsite
added note to ensure they are in sync
* updated shell page to list plugins
added some more docs hinting at plugins being configurable
* fix edit link for plugins
(cherry picked from commit bdbb89378f)
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
(cherry picked from commit 80ba7b7402)
* Docs refactor as outlined in https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/79. Moves content into 'guides'; refactors TOC; fixes CSS; design tweaks to layout and CSS; fixes generated plugin, CLI and module docs to fix links accodingly; more.
* Adding extra blank line for shippable
(cherry picked from commit 373b1dcf59)
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()
```
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.
* Render nested return value documentation for more then one level
in the generated webdocs.
* Remove unnecessary code and cleanup
* Implement recursive option documentation
* Build elbow intendation style for options and return documentation
* (minor) fix broken link, awkward phrasing
Simple transposition error was resulting in a link not
being properly htmlified.
Also clean up redundant 'this' and trailing whitespace.

* Edits
* fixed module generation
added missing lookup page
point to plugins when plugins
made modules singular
add display for verbose an debug messages
nicer templating, changed generation order for ref
corrected links
moved most of lookup docs to plugin section
* Copy edits
* Fixed typos
* Clarified wording
reason: The link is showing verbatim in the docs, where it should only
show "knowledge base article".
Also, generating the docs shows a lot of:
docs/docsite/rst/win_acl_module.rst:424: WARNING: Unknown target name: "know ledge base article<https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-top-support-policies>".
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
It was colliding with the target for random_choice plugin
* Revise and link inline to the lists of modules
* Fix jinja2 objects.inv fallback path
* Fix bolding of deprecation marker
* Change module_support to link to lists via :doc:
That links to the top of the page instead of a section.
* Add a short text for each list of maintained modules
* Change maintenance info to only display on core and network modules
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.
