[PATCH] Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst: Fix syntax error and Describe details using table

[Shenghong Han]

Some syntax errors exist in "page_owner.rst". Thanks to Akira Yokosawa and
Haowen Bai for tips to help improve the documentation.

We try to fix them. Hope that the Documentation is showed as we expect.

Thanks Jonathan's suggestion.

This fix is a simpler than before.
And yes, It has built in my machine.

Best,

In changelog, describe technical facts.  Not what you think or hope.
You need to do a respin with a better explanation at least.

Hint: A fix without using tables would be the simplest.  Please look
at the changes in the preceding section I made in commit 5603f9bdea68
("docs: vm/page_owner: use literal blocks for param description").
You are seeing the build error because a literal block ends at a next
line which starts from column 1.

I don't think Jon would dislike the simplest approach. :-)

Of course, if you guys love tables so much, I don't mind.

SHA-1 ID of a not-yet-merged commit will likely break later in
the merge window.

Good luck!

So, I have actually tested this.

Are you OK with the look of

  1) For --sort option.

and

  2) For --curl option.

in generated HTML or PDF docs?

In literal blocks, you would see double dashes of "--".
Now they are converted to so-called endash, which is a single dash
slightly longer than a normal hyphen.  It looks confusing to me.

To remedy this, you need inline literal markers of

  1) For ``--sort`` option.

and

  2) For ``--curl`` option.


By the way, this patch changes ":" to "." at the end of them.
Are they intentional changes?  If so, why?

        Thanks, Akira

I don't see any "full-width" symbols in your patch.

Now that the web page catches up v5.18-rc5, how does it look to
you?

"the current document" is always changing, so it doesn't mean
anything...
