Recommonmark has been deprecated since 2021 [1] and the last release was
over 3 years ago [2]. As per their announcement, Markedly Structured
Text (MyST) Parser [3] is the recommended replacement.
For the most part, the existing documentation is compatible with MyST,
as both parsers are built around the CommonMark flavor of Markdown. The
main difference that affects coreboot is how the Sphinx toctree is
generated. Recommonmark has a feature called auto_toc_tree, which
converts single level lists of references into a toctree:
* [Part 1: Starting from scratch](part1.md)
* [Part 2: Submitting a patch to coreboot.org](part2.md)
* [Part 3: Writing unit tests](part3.md)
* [Managing local additions](managing_local_additions.md)
* [Flashing firmware](flashing_firmware/index.md)
MyST Parser does not provide a replacement for this feature, meaning the
toctree must be defined manually. This is done using MyST's syntax for
Sphinx directives:
```{toctree}
:maxdepth: 1
Part 1: Starting from scratch <part1.md>
Part 2: Submitting a patch to coreboot.org <part2.md>
Part 3: Writing unit tests <part3.md>
Managing local additions <managing_local_additions.md>
Flashing firmware <flashing_firmware/index.md>
```
Internally, auto_toc_tree essentially converts lists of references into
the Sphinx toctree structure that the MyST syntax above more directly
represents.
The toctrees were converted to the MyST syntax using the following
command and Python script:
`find ./ -iname "*.md" | xargs -n 1 python conv_toctree.py`
```
import re
import sys
in_list = False
f = open(sys.argv[1])
lines = f.readlines()
f.close()
with open(sys.argv[1], "w") as f:
for line in lines:
match = re.match(r"^[-*+] \[(.*)\]\((.*)\)$", line)
if match is not None:
if not in_list:
in_list = True
f.write("```{toctree}\n")
f.write(":maxdepth: 1\n\n")
f.write(match.group(1) + " <" + match.group(2) + ">\n")
else:
if in_list:
f.write("```\n")
f.write(line)
in_list = False
if in_list:
f.write("```\n")
```
While this does add a little more work for creating the toctree, this
does give more control over exactly what goes into the toctree. For
instance, lists of links to external resources currently end up in the
toctree, but we may want to limit it to pages within coreboot.
This change does break rendering and navigation of the documentation in
applications that can render Markdown, such as Okular, Gitiles, or the
GitHub mirror. Assuming the docs are mainly intended to be viewed after
being rendered to doc.coreboot.org, this is probably not an issue in
practice.
Another difference is that MyST natively supports Markdown tables,
whereas with Recommonmark, tables had to be written in embedded rST [4].
However, MyST also supports embedded rST, so the existing tables can be
easily converted as the syntax is nearly identical.
These were converted using
`find ./ -iname "*.md" | xargs -n 1 sed -i "s/eval_rst/{eval-rst}/"`
Makefile.sphinx and conf.py were regenerated from scratch by running
`sphinx-quickstart` using the updated version of Sphinx, which removes a
lot of old commented out boilerplate. Any relevant changes coreboot had
made on top of the previous autogenerated versions of these files were
ported over to the newly generated file.
From some initial testing the generated webpages appear and function
identically to the existing documentation built with Recommonmark.
TEST: `make -C util/docker docker-build-docs` builds the documentation
successfully and the generated output renders properly when viewed in
a web browser.

- The 4.19 release notes included a list of outstanding issues formatted
as a markdown table, which is not supported by Recommonmark. Reformat
as an embedded reStructuredText table.
- The table of boards supported on the 4.18 branch did not include row
separators causing all rows to be rendered in a single row of cells.
- Technotes/console.md had a typo in the rST table formatting which
generated warnings in the Sphinx build, causing the table to not be
rendered in the resulting html.

Use the COV environment variable to
* control whether we build for coverage or not
* select the output directory
Add a separate target for generating the report, so we can get a
report for all of the tests together or just a single test.
