2025-08-11doc: check well-formedness of delimited sectionsJean-Noël Avila1-1/+1
Having an empty line before each delimited sections is not required by asciidoc, but it is a safety measure that prevents generating malformed asciidoc when generating translated documentation. When a delimited section appears just after a paragraph, the asciidoc processor checks that the length of the delimited section header is different from the length of the paragraph. If it is not, the asciidoc processor will generate a title. In the original English documentation, this is not a problem because the authors always check the output of the asciidoc processor and fix the length of the delimited section header if it turns out to be the same as the paragraph length. However, this is not the case for translations, where the authors have no way to check the length of the delimited section header or the output of the asciidoc processor. This can lead to a section title that is not intended. Indeed, this test also checks that titles are correctly formed, that is, the length of the underline is equal to the length of the title (otherwise it would not be a title but a section header). Finally, this test checks that the delimited section are terminated within the same file. Signed-off-by: Jean-Noël Avila <jn.avila@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-0/+543
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
