No, kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO includes explanation of tools to extract the document, format of extractable document in source files and so on. I thought this file would help non-native people, how to extract or add in-kernel extractable documents. I understand that these tools will generate English documents but that's OK. Such large volume of documents are not easy to translate into other languages. > > Rob > -- > "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." > - Ken Thompson. > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
