From 0c2b3c667bf157dc2344e3dbc2aae0e11e37387b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marti Bolivar Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2011 19:25:29 -0400 Subject: 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 --- docs/source/lang/api/delay.rst | 69 ------------------------------------------ 1 file changed, 69 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 docs/source/lang/api/delay.rst (limited to 'docs/source/lang/api/delay.rst') diff --git a/docs/source/lang/api/delay.rst b/docs/source/lang/api/delay.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 30bd436..0000000 --- a/docs/source/lang/api/delay.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,69 +0,0 @@ -.. highlight:: cpp - -.. _lang-delay: - -delay() -======= - -Pauses the program for at least a given number of milliseconds.
