docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt: Update to new rST backend conventions
Update the documentation of QAPI document comment syntax to match the new rST backend requirements. The principal changes are: * whitespace is now significant, and multiline definitions must have their second and subsequent lines indented to match the first line * general rST format markup is permitted, not just the small set of markup the old texinfo generator handled. For most things (notably bulleted and itemized lists) the old format was the same as rST is. * Specific things that might trip people up: - instead of *bold* and _italic_ rST has **bold** and *italic* - lists need a preceding and following blank line - a lone literal '*' will need to be backslash-escaped to avoid a rST syntax error * the old leading '|' for example (literal text) blocks is replaced by the standard rST '::' literal block. * we support arbitrary levels of sub- and sub-sub-heading, not just a main and sub-heading like the old texinfo generator * lists can now be nested Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Message-Id: <20200925162316.21205-18-peter.maydell@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> [Commit message improved slightly] Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
