:-) Here's a sneak-peak (don't miss the index to your left hand side):

    https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/v3-QEMU-Docs/_build/html/docs/bitmaps.html

Compare that with the GitHub rendering:

    https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/docs/devel/bitmaps.md

And, here's the source (in reStructuredText, despite the ".txt"
