I picked up a few files in Doc/library and updated their markup to use directives nesting. The attached patch is the result; it’s a lot of changes for small benefit. If we think it’s a good change anyway, I have two questions
- Do you think it would be a good idea to have the -checkins emails ignore whitespace changes in some cases? (I’m thinking a magic string in the commit message)
- A number of files have a class directive near the top of the file, in the list of all public names, and a later section "XX objects" with the methods and attributes. When this is changed to nested class/methods directives, sometimes the first class directive gets a noindex flag, but I think it should jsut be removed: the index in the sidebar is enough to let people jump to the doc. Do you agree?

I’m inclined to reject this patch: it doesn’t apply cleanly anymore, it does not cover all modules, and basically it’s markup changes without benefits for end users.
Our doc can recommend nesting class and methods directives for new doc, and existing doc may or may not be changed when someone improves the contents.

Agreed.
