Remove reST documentation, attendant updates.
The documentation covers topics not specifically relevant to libmaple,
so it doesn't make sense for it to be part of the libmaple source
distribution.
Delete the docs/ tree, and prepare libmaple for use with the new
leaflabs-docs repo, which will contain the docs from now on.
* README: update to reflect this change
* support/doxygen/Doxyfile: This is the old docs/Doxyfile
* Makefile: Add a doxygen target
* wirish/comm/HardwareSerial.h: fix reference to docs/. The comment
informing maintainers that the HardwareSerial interface is
documented by hand refers to the docs/ tree, which no longer exists.
Update it to refer to the separate leaflabs-docs repository.
* support/scripts/copy-to-ide: No longer build the documentation

This is a condition that is often referred to as -the braces being *balanced*. The Maple IDE (integrated development -environment) includes a convenient feature to check the balance of -curly braces. Just select a brace, or even click the insertion point -immediately following a brace, and its companion will be highlighted\ -[#fbug]_\ . - -Beginning programmers, and programmers coming to C++ from languages -without braces, often find using them confusing or daunting. - -Because the use of the curly brace is so varied, it is good -programming practice to type the closing brace immediately after -typing the opening brace when inserting a construct which requires -curly braces. Then insert some blank lines between your braces and -begin inserting statements. Your braces, and your attitude, will never -become unbalanced. - -Unbalanced braces can often lead to cryptic, impenetrable compiler -errors that can sometimes be hard to track down in a large program. -Because of their varied usages, braces are also incredibly important -to the syntax of a program and moving a brace one or two lines will -usually dramatically affect the meaning of a program. - -The main uses of curly braces ------------------------------ - -**Functions**:: - - // a function body needs braces around it - void myFunction(datatype argument) { - // ... function body goes in here ... - } - -**Loops** (see the :ref:`while <lang-while>`\ , :ref:`for -<lang-for>`\ , and :ref:`do/while <lang-dowhile>` loop reference -pages for more information):: - - // you should put braces around the body of a loop: - - while (boolean expression) { - // code inside the loop goes here - } - - for (initialisation; termination condition; incrementing expr) { - // code inside the loop goes here - } - - do { - // code inside the loop goes here - } while (boolean expression); - - -**Conditional statements** (see the :ref:`if statement <lang-if>` -reference page for more information):: - - // you should put braces around the body of an "if", "else if", - // or "else": - - if (boolean expression) { - // code inside the "if" - } - else if (boolean expression) { - // code inside the "else if" - } - else { - // code inside the "else" - } - -**Switch statements** (see the :ref:`switch statement -<lang-switchcase>` reference page for more information):: - - switch (var) { - case 1: - doThing1(); - break; - case 2: - doThing2(); - break; - } - -.. rubric:: Footnotes - -..
