Fully eliminate the "Example" sections in QAPI doc blocks now that they
have all been converted to arbitrary rST syntax using the
".. qmp-example::" directive. Update tests to match.
Migrating to the new syntax
---------------------------
The old "Example:" or "Examples:" section syntax is now caught as an
error, but "Example::" is stil permitted as explicit rST syntax for an
un-lexed, generic preformatted text block.
('Example' is not special in this case, any sentence that ends with "::"
will start an indented code block in rST.)
Arbitrary rST for Examples is now possible, but it's strongly
recommended that documentation authors use the ".. qmp-example::"
directive for consistent visual formatting in rendered HTML docs. The
":title:" directive option may be used to add extra information into the
title bar for the example. The ":annotated:" option can be used to write
arbitrary rST instead, with nested "::" blocks applying QMP formatting
where desired.
Other choices available are ".. code-block:: QMP" which will not create
an "Example:" box, or the short-form "::" code-block syntax which will
not apply QMP highlighting when used outside of the qmp-example
directive.
Why?
----
This patch has several benefits:
1. Example sections can now be written more arbitrarily, mixing
explanatory paragraphs and code blocks however desired.
2. Example sections can now use fully arbitrary rST.
3. All code blocks are now lexed and validated as QMP; increasing
usability of the docs and ensuring validity of example snippets.
(To some extent - This patch only gaurantees it lexes correctly, not
that it's valid under the JSON or QMP grammars. It will catch most
small mistakes, however.)
4. Each qmp-example can be titled or annotated independently without
bypassing the QMP lexer/validator.
(i.e. code blocks are now for *code* only, so we don't have to
sacrifice exposition for having lexically valid examples.)
NOTE: As with the "Notes" conversion patch, this patch (and those
preceding) may change the rendering order for Examples in the
current generator. The forthcoming qapidoc rewrite will fix this
by always generating documentation in source order.

Conversions from "Example" section to plain reST may change order. This
patch converts a test, and the preceding three convert the real uses.
Does any of the patches actually change order?

I do not actually know ...! It has the *potential* in the same exact way
that the notes patch did, but I don't actually know if it *did*. My hunch
is "no" because there's only one intermediate section we identified with
the notes series, but I didn't exhaustively prove it. That's why I used the
"may" weasel wording.

Telling on myself: you can use .. code-block:: QMP too, but I figured
recommending "::" was shorter and sweeter. There are lots of minutiae here
for people who haven't spent a long time reading and writing rST, so I
tried to keep it short.

O:-)
It's maybe *slightly* bad form, but it does help illustrate how the new
directive is transformed when using text output modes in the test suite, so
I kept it. The new directive will simply not allow malformed JSON, so this
seemed like the simplest way to cheese that.

(And here, we test the use of non-QMP code block literals, esp. after the

Does this adequately resolve your qualms about .txt rendering for examples?

Alright, I checked.
In documentation of command announce-self, the example moves from after
the arguments to before. Unwanted change.
I can keep it in place if I insert a TODO before the example like this:

I figure an alternative would be a more flexible "...".
Two hunks up, you dumb one down:
- # Example:
+ # .. qmp-example::
#
# -> { "execute": "query-blockstats" }
# <- {
- # ... lots of output ...
+ # ...
# }
If qmp_lexer.py understood this more verbose ellipsis, we could use
something like
# -> ... input ...
# <- ... output ...
Worth the bother? Certainly not just for tests. Maybe for nicer
examples in real documentation? Up to you!

I think you mean my "Rendering to text now loses the "Example" heading"
on "[PATCH 13/13] qapi: convert "Example" sections to rST". The diff
above demonstrates it's no longer lost.
There's a tiny issue you may or may not want to address: an example
isn't always separated by a blank line. To reproduce, add my TODO hack
to announce-self, and examine qemu-qmp-ref.txt:
"announce-self" (Command)
-------------------------
Trigger generation of broadcast RARP frames to update network
switches. This can be useful when network bonds fail-over the active
slave.
Arguments
~~~~~~~~~
--> The members of "AnnounceParameters"
--> Example::
-> { "execute": "announce-self",
"arguments": {
"initial": 50, "max": 550, "rounds": 10, "step": 50,
"interfaces": ["vn2", "vn3"], "id": "bob" } }
<- { "return": {} }

Good idea. I'll have to see if it's easy to get the lexer to realize both
"..." and "...(etc)..." as tokens without accidentally eating legitimate
JSON between. Probably a standalone patch/miniseries.

Oh, uh. I'm not sure how to fix that right away, but I'll try. No promises.
