[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: fix PDF build of bbdev prog guide

[Nicolas Chautru]

Some machine (like on dpdk.org) may fail to build the prog guide PDF because of the complex table inserted in the bbdev chapter.

Fixes: 3f3f608142cf ("doc: update bbdev guide for 5GNR operations")

3 comments above the change of references:

- there are a lot more, please search for the word "section"

- it deserves a separate commit

- the line length should be below 100 chars, better below 80.
The ideal is to break lines logically after a punctuation sign,
or between "subject" and "verb", etc.
Example:

All the ones I could see are similar to "as per 3GPP TS 38.212 section 5.2.2" which is does not refer to a section within DPDK documentation but to external 3GPP specs documents.

OK. And you want such a commit now for 19.09 or later on?

All lines are less than 100 chars, but a few places are >80 chars. Let me know if you want this changed for 19.09 or later.

You're right! I completely overlooked it.

Given there are only 2 figure refs, it can stay with PDF fix.

The rule is to not do cosmetic change :)
I was explaining the line breaking for the lines you were changing
while fixing figure ref.

I think I will apply this patch and adjust the line breaking if needed.
Is it OK?

Thanks for the quick reaction.
If you agree, I can apply this patch without the changes of figure refs.

About the tables, there are simpler syntax in RsT:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#tables
You can also consider the definition lists:

No problem, we can fix the other cosmetic changes that you have raised post 19.09. 

>About the tables, there are simpler syntax in RsT:
>http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#tables

To be honest, I cannot see the problem with the current format which is following that structure already. 
What error message do you get on your machine? This is not caught on DPDK CI, is it? 

>You can also consider the definition lists:
>http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#definition-lists

Clearer has a formal table from my point of view. 

Thanks

You are using the grid table syntax.
I was referring to the simple table syntax as below:

	=====  =====  ======
	   Inputs     Output
	------------  ------
	  A      B    A or B
	=====  =====  ======
	False  False  False
	True   False  True
	False  True   True
	True   True   True
	=====  =====  ======

> What error message do you get on your machine?

That's the difficult thing with PDF build, we do not have
any clear error message. I had to bisect to find the root cause.

> This is not caught on DPDK CI, is it?

No and I cannot reproduce it on my laptop.
I see the failure only on dpdk.org which has a different OS version.

Yes maybe, it depends on what we want to document.

Actually the problem is still here: the table line is "+" instead of "|".
I'll fix it, keeping the original format.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] doc: fix PDF build of bbdev prog guide

Some machine (like on dpdk.org) may fail to build the prog guide PDF
because of a table characher being "+" instead of "|".

Some figure references are also fixed with automatic numbering.
