2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-3/+3
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>
2024-06-06Documentation/lint-manpages: bubble up errorsPatrick Steinhardt1-8/+33
The "lint-manpages.sh" script does not return an error in case any of its checks fail. While this is faithful to the implementation that we had as part of the "check-docs" target before the preceding commit, it makes it hard to spot any violations of the rules via the corresponding CI job, which will of course exit successfully, too. Adapt the script to bubble up errors. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-06Makefile: extract script to lint missing/extraneous manpagesPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+83
The "check-docs" target of our top-level Makefile fulfills two different roles. For one it runs the "lint-docs" target of the "Documentation/" Makefile. And second it performs some checks of whether there are any manpages that are missing or extraneous via some inline scripts. The second set of checks feels quite misplaced in the top-level Makefile as it would fit in much better with our "lint-docs" target. Back when the checks were introduced in 8c989ec528 (Makefile: $(MAKE) check-docs, 2006-04-13), that target did not yet exist though. Furthermore, the script makes use of several Makefile variables which are defined in the top-level Makefile, which makes it hard to access their contents from elsewhere. There is a trick though that we already use in "check-builtins.sh" to gain access: we can create an ad-hoc Makefile that has an extra target to print those variables. Pull out the script into a separate "lint-manpages.sh" script by using that trick. Wire up that script via the "lint-docs" target. For one, normal shell scripts are way easier to reason about than those which are embedded in a Makefile. Second, it allows one to easily execute the script standalone without any of the other checks. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
