A different "problem" this time:
Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst pulls in include/linux/kernel.h.
<linux/kernel.h> has kernel-doc notation for (among others) trace_printk()
and trace_puts().
Part of the text for trace_printk() says:
* Note: __trace_printk is an internal function for trace_printk and
* the @ip is passed in via the trace_printk macro.
I am seeing this 'produced' (when I view the output html) as:
__trace_printk is an internal function for trace_printk and
the ip is passed in via the trace_printk macro.
(BUT the first line is all BOLD).
I tried changing that to
\_\_trace_printk is an internal function...
with the same BOLD result.
So I tried the source as
``__trace_printk`` is an internal function...
with the same BOLD result.
Maybe this is a s/w bug?
Running Sphinx v1.3.1
