Akihiro Motoki 66274cdae3 PDF documentation build
The following changes are made for PDF document.

- Sample config/policy files are skipped for PDF doc build.
  We hit several problems around verbatim of inline samples
  in neutron, nova and others, so we decided to skip them now.
  Downloadable links also should be avoided in PDF doc
  as PDF doc is expected to work alone.
- tocdepth for latex is explicitly set to 3 for better navigation
  in the generated PDF. The default was 1 and we cannot provide
  enough information in PDF TOC.
- The module index is disabled as the neutron document does not
  generate a full module index and it shows only partial entries.
  'makeindex' and 'printindex' are set to empty in latex_elements.

The existing contents (mainly the top page) are reorganized a bit
for a better TOC of the generated PDF document:

- The top page of the documentation is simplified only with toctree
  to avoid almost duplicated entries in the TOC of the PDF documentation.
  The current TOC for PDF doc seems to use section titles as the first
  level and title of linked pages as the second level. They are almost
  same and the generated TOC would be redundant.
- The link to the API reference in the top page was moved
  to a subdirectory so that PDF TOC can include it.
- 'Search' section is shown in index.rst only when the builder is 'html'
  as this section uses a form and makes sense only for HTML doc.

Neutron is an OpenStack project to provide "network connectivity as a service" between interface devices (e.g., vNICs) managed by other OpenStack services (e.g., nova). It implements the OpenStack Networking API.

This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional documentation on Neutron and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki and the Neutron section of the wiki. The Neutron Development wiki is also a good resource for new contributors.

Enjoy!
