[PATCH 2/5] scripts/kernel-doc: Adding infrastructure for markdown support

25 Nov 2015

From: Danilo Cesar Lemes de Paula danilo.cesar@collabora.co.uk
Markdown support is given by calling an external tool, pandoc, for all
highlighted text on kernel-doc.
Pandoc converts Markdown text to proper Docbook tags, which will be
later translated to pdf, html or other targets.
This adds the capability of adding human-readle text highlight (bold,
underline, etc), bullet and numbered lists, simple tables, fixed-width
text (including asciiart), requiring minimal changes to current
documentation.
At this moment, pandoc is totally optional. Docbooks ready for markdown
should be added to the MARKDOWNREADY variable inside the Makefile. In
case the developer doesn't have pandoc installed, Make will throw a
warning and the documentation build will continue, generating
simple Documentation without the features brought by pandoc.
