2021-05-22doc: use program and option directives to document optionsJani Nikula
Use the program and option directives to document the subcommand options. This unifies a lot of option documentation throughout. This also makes it possible to reference options with :option:`--foo` (within .. program::) or :option:`subcommand --foo` (globally). This is left for later work. See https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/domains.html#directive-program Note: There is a lot of indentation change, but intentionally there is no reflow. Using 'git diff -w' or 'git show -w' to ignore white space changes makes this a very easy change to review.
2021-05-22doc: use envvar directive and role for environment variablesJani Nikula
Make man1/notmuch.rst the single point of truth for describing notmuch environment variables. Use the envvar directive for that, and reference them with the envvar role. Drive-by cleanup configuration file and hook directory search order documentation.
2021-05-22doc: cross-reference notmuch man pages with actual linksJani Nikula
Add internal hyperlink targets for man pages and cross-reference them using the any role reference. There are a number of alternatives to accomplish this, but this seems like the combination that retains the man page section number and the same boldface style in the man pages. As a bonus, we get sanity checking on the links; for example notmuch-search-terms.rst had a reference to notmuch-properties(1) i.e. the wrong section. The obvious semantic follow-up change would be to only have meaningful "see also" references instead of having them all everywhere.
2017-12-31doc: unify definition list usage across man pagesJani Nikula
Make all parameter descriptions etc. use reStructuredText definition lists with uniform style and indentation. Remove redundant indentation from around the lists. Remove blank lines between term lines and definition blocks. Use four spaces for indentation. This is almost completely whitespace and paragraph reflow changes.
2017-10-18doc: make SEE ALSO references one-per-lineDaniel Kahn Gillmor
This will make future diffs cleaner, make it easier to keep them alphabetical, and make it easier to scan and search the documentation sources.
2014-03-09doc: convert sphinx based docsDavid Bremner
This is the output from sphinx-quickstart, massaged a bit, along with our existing man pages converted to rst. A skeleton notmuch-emacs manual is also included. It is not suitable for end user use yet.
