Because it's a lot easier to link to bug reports this way.
The migration is mostly just a copy-paste job, but I'm using keybinding
styles where appropriate too.
Automatically generating the link target for each script saves a lot of
time and potential for errors.
Each kind-of-script page now includes a link target for that page, and
also a table of contents.
In-script markers to delimit text for Sphinx extraction now use native
docstring markers from Ruby, which is a lot more elegant in .rb scripts
- and robust, as long as the fisrt docstring is valid .rst!
Creates a single file for each kind of script (base, gui, fix...). This
includes and correctly sorts content from any .lua or .rb file under the
scripts directory. It's more robust and more readable than the old
style, and doesn't write anything in the submodules. User-added scripts
will be seamlessly added, if they have a docs section and Sphinx is run.
Because it's not actually that important to the user how a command is
implemented, and the docs should reflect that. This also makes them
easier to write!
Binpatches aren't used much at the moment, so this has two purposes:
collate information so it's easier to write them again, and remove it
from other sections where it's useless.
Note that if the standalone binpatch.exe is removed, the 'patching on
disk' section can be cleanly removed from 'Using a patch' by deleting
lines 44-47 & 61-90.
Checked with a throwaway script, and added the missing entries. NEWS
now has a comment on how to use the file, which is only visible in the
raw text version. Added the documentation changes to NEWS.
* Enabled internal links; a phrase in backticks is linked to the
corresponding link target and turns into the corresponding title.
* Linked all existing references in Scripts.rst
* Created corresponding link targets
* Fixed formatting of some tables of arguments.
