The following directories have several .txt files. Please pick two files and convert to ReST. There are a few exceptions that should be kept as plain text files:

• a configuration file whose extension is .txt;
• a dump of chapter extracted from an old arch-specific manual which seems to be provided by its manufacturer.

Preparing to build the documentation:

There's a script that checks if you have all needed dependencies to build the documentation. It is called automatically when you run make htmldocs. Alternatively, you can call the script directly with:

./scripts/sphinx-pre-install 

Building docs and looking for warnings:

Once you have all the requirements, you can do the building with:

make htmldocs > doc_make.log 2>&1

And check the warnings with the following script.
