From 0a7263014b3a0e05b52ccef314e2ccf6f4550a8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jani Nikula Date: Sat, 28 May 2016 14:50:20 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] kernel-doc: improve handling of whitespace on the first line param description Handle whitespace on the first line of param text as if it was the empty string. There is no need to add the newline in this case. This improves the rst output in particular, where blank lines may be problematic in parameter lists.
