Most of the world, including the Chromium universe, seems to be
standardizing on Markdown for documentation. Markdown provides the
benefit of automatic rendering on Gitiles (Gerrit), and on GitHub
mirrors as well. Crashpad should fit in with its surroundings.
There are two quirks that I was unable to resolve.
- Markdown does not allow **emphasis** within a ```code fence```
region. In blocks showing interactive examples, the AsciiDoc
documentation used this to highlight what the user was expected to
type.
- Markdown does not have a “definition list” (<dl>). This would have
been nice in man pages for the Options and Exit Status sections.
In its place, I used unnumbered lists. This is a little ugly, but
it’s not the end of the world.
The new Markdown-formatted documentation is largely identical to the
AsciiDoc that it replaces. Minor editorial revisions were made.
References to Mac OS X now mention macOS, and tool man pages describing
tools that that access task ports now mention System Integrity
Protection (SIP).
The AppEngine-based https://crashpad.chromium.org/ app in doc/appengine
is still necessary to serve Doxygen-generated documentation. This app is
updated to redirect existing generated-HTML URLs to Gitiles’ automatic
Markdown rendering.
Scripts in doc/support are updated to adapt to this change. All AsciiDoc
support files in doc/support have been removed.
