It's a lot less pretty to read - it look like a cat threw up to be specific. The point of the Document is to read it quickly in the kernel tree. If you want fancy websites write a separate document. > [1] http://static.lwn.net/kerneldoc/dev-tools/sparse.html And I wouldn't exactly call that pretty. There is no value add over a simple text file here, and it requires a browser to not look ugly instead of a text editor, which is a giant usablity regression. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
