2016-09-20docs: Clean up bare :: linesJonathan Corbet
Mauro's patch set introduced some bare :: lines; these can be represented by a double colon at the end of the preceding text line. The result looks a little less weird and is less verbose. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-09-20Documentation/HOWTO: add cross-references to other documentsMauro Carvalho Chehab
Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation. It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file. We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo directory.
