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.
added 'cacheable set_facts' to precedence docs
'ansible_facts_cacheable' -> '_ansible_facts_cacheable' (made 'private')
* (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.

* Copy edits
* Fixed typos
* Clarified wording
- old functionality is still available direct lookup use, the following are equivalent
with_nested: [[1,2,3], ['a','b','c']]
loop: "{{lookup('nested', [1,2,3], ['a','b','c'])}}"
- avoid squashing with 'loop:'
- fixed test to use new intenal attributes
- removed most of 'lookup docs' as these now reside in the plugins
this should allow user to control how they want the playbook dirs inspected
for additional vars, default now reverts to 2.3 behaviour (top).
corrected paths order
minor doc reword
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>".
* Improve and link Network Proxy docs
It is possible for proxy issues to cause "unable to open shell", so
detail there.
Having the "how-to" in the debug page makes more sense than on the
porting page, so move it.
Fixed a few formatting issues at the same time.
* Edits
* typo
It's almost always preferable to clone by way of https:// rather than
using the bare git:// protocol. Not only does https:// provide
stronger guarantees it also plays nicer with corporate proxies, etc.

* generate plugins into their own dir
only do plugins that support docs
use toctree from main plugins page
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:
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

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

* 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

It was colliding with the target for random_choice plugin
Addtions to porting_guide_2.4
* deprecated notice for win_package return values

Added notes for users and devs to check out new features once i write the 'feature docs' I'll
come back and link to them from here

* 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

* 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

* Delete trailing space in ec2_vol example
Delete the trailing space in `instance: "{{ item.id }} "`, which makes the
example fail when run because it looks for instance "i-xxxx ".
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.
