Sorry about my terseness. The ending colon is not the problem. The problem is in indentation in the example code, and changing to use "::" tells the kernel-doc "reStructuredText" processor that the following block is a literal block of some blob that should be kept as is. > If kernel-doc thinks "example:" is a mistake, maybe we could recast > the sentence as "Example usage:"?

There is one slight alternate, if it looks any better to you, to put the "::" on a line by itself, like so: * Returns a pointer to the remapped memory or an ERR_PTR() encoded error code * on failure. Usage example: *:: * * res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0); * base = devm_pci_remap_cfg_resource(&pdev->dev, res); * if (IS_ERR(base)) * return PTR_ERR(base); */ I can resend the patch like that if you prefer it. thanks, -- ~Randy
