docs: standardize directory index to --- with overline Use a standard heading format for the index.rst file in a directory. Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g. === for chapter titles and --- for section titles, as suggested in the Linux kernel guidelines[1]. They could do it anyway, because documents included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied to the same conventions for headings. However, keeping some consistency is useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

docs: Provide separate conf.py for each manual we want By default Sphinx wants to build a single manual at once. For QEMU, this doesn't suit us, because we want to have separate manuals for "Developer's Guide", "User Manual", and so on, and we don't want to ship the Developer's Guide to end-users. However, we don't want to completely duplicate conf.py for each manual, and we'd like to continue to support "build all docs in one run" for third-party sites like readthedocs.org. Make the top-level conf.py support two usage forms: (1) as a common config file which is included by the conf.py for each of QEMU's manuals: in this case sphinx-build is run multiple times, once per subdirectory. (2) as a top level conf file which will result in building all the manuals into a single document: in this case sphinx-build is run once, on the top-level docs directory.

QEMU is a large and mature project with a number of complex subsystems
that can be overwhelming to understand. The development documentation
is not comprehensive but hopefully presents enough to get you started.
If there are areas that are unclear please reach out either via the
IRC channel or mailing list and hopefully we can improve the
documentation for future developers.
All developers will want to familiarise themselves with
:ref:`development_process` and how the community interacts. Please pay
particular attention to the :ref:`coding-style` and
:ref:`submitting-a-patch` sections to avoid common pitfalls.
If you wish to implement a new hardware model you will want to read
through the :ref:`qom` documentation to understand how QEMU's object
model works.
Those wishing to enhance or add new CPU emulation capabilities will
want to read our :ref:`tcg` documentation, especially the overview of
the :ref:`tcg_internals`.
