[PATCH 7/7] docs: kdoc_output: fix handling of simple tables
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Wed Mar 18 2026 - 10:29:31 EST
Fix check for simple table delimiters.
ReST simple tables use "=" instead of "-". I ended testing it with
a table modified from a complex one, using "--- --- ---", instead
of searching for a real Kernel example.
Only noticed when adding an unit test and seek for an actual
example from kernel-doc markups.
