[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.11 v2 0/9] Provide support matrix generator

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This series provides code to generate a feature support matrix, to
replace the one on the wiki.  You can see an example of the output
here:
  http://xenbits.xen.org/people/iwj/2018/support-matrix-example-v2/t.html
There is also an accompanying SUPPORT.html to make the links for 4.11
work.

Patches 1-3 fix syntax trouble in SUPPORT.md (and commit us to using
pandoc format for it).  Patches 4-7 arrange to generate a SUPPORT.html
at the toplevel of the generated docs.  These should all be backported
to 4.10.

Patches 8 and 9 are the support matrix generator.  They are not hooked
into any of the xen.git makefiles but it seemed best to have them here
in xen.git/docs rather than floating about in some ad hoc crontab
repo.

  ar 1/9 SUPPORT.md: Syntax: Fix some bullet lists
  ar 2/9 SUPPORT.md: Syntax: Fix a typo "States"
 m r 3/9 SUPPORT.md: Syntax: Provide a title rather than a
   r 4/9 docs/gen-html-index: Extract titles from HTML documents
   r 5/9 docs/gen-html-index: Support documents at the toplevel
   r 6/9 docs/Makefile: Introduce GENERATE_PANDOC_RULE_RAW
   r 7/9 docs/Makefile: Format SUPPORT.md into the toplevel
 +   8/9 docs: Provide parse-support-md
 +   9/9 docs: Provide support-matrix-generate, to generate ...

 a = acked (by a tools or REST maintainer)
 r = release-acked for 4.11
 + = new patch
 m = modified commit message

I think if the output is tolerably accurate, it would be valuable to
get this set up as a cron job ASAP.  Stylistic and formatting
improvements etc. can be done on top.

My plan is that the cron job will use the matrix generator from
xen.git#master.

For my reference, this was generated with
   docs/support-matrix-generate HEAD SUPPORT.html 
refs/heads/wip.support-stmt-NN 
https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/NN-testing/SUPPORT.html >t.html
  rsync -vP t.html SUPPORT.html 
xenbits:public_html/2018/support-matrix-example-v1/

Thanks,
Ian.
