2019-10-23Documentation: Hide the Getting Started informationLaurent Pinchart
The Getting Started information makes little sense on the generated documentation, as a developer with documentation compiled from a local libcamera source tree has already got started. We however want to keep the information in the top-level README.rst as it is useful there. In order to hide the Getting Started information from the front page while keeping it in README.rst, add comments to delimitate sections of README.rst, and include only a subset of the file in the front page.

2019-10-23Documentation: Move coding style under contributingLaurent Pinchart

2019-08-16readme: Move index page content to READMEKieran Bingham
Move the introduction content from the index.rst to the README.rst so that it can also be found quickly from the top level. Include the README.rst directly into the index.rst to continue serving it as the front page material.

2019-01-11Documentation: Add placeholder for Doxygen-generated API documentationLaurent Pinchart
Until we have better Sphinx + Doxygen integration, replace the relative external link to the API documentation with a placeholder directory, which will be populated with the Doxygen-generated doc when exporting documentation to the website. This is needed as the Sphinx documentation is exported to the root of the website, linking to ../api-html is thus not possible.

2019-01-11Documentation: Link to the API documentation generated by DoxygenLaurent Pinchart
Add a link in the toctree to the API documentation. sphinx doesn't seem to support relative external links, but we can trick it into thinking the link is absolute by adding '#://' at the end.

2019-01-11Documentation: Make the toctree more web-friendlyLaurent Pinchart
The toctree is displayed in the navigation bar at the top of the page. Add short names to the entries that replicate the names currently used on libcamera.org. Remove the link to the index and search pages, as the former is empty, and the latter can be accessed directory from the navigation bar search box.
