---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0007002) dwheeler (reporter) - 2024-12-12 15:31 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1891#c7002 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This typographical convention may appear odd to some readers, but it's clearly documented, so there's nothing *wrong* here. Under "Typographical Conventions" https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/frontmatter/typographics.html It says: C-Language Function | system() It's unfortunate that the HTML translator changes this. I wish the translator did't do this, I think it's a minor bug. That said, there's even an out for this within POSIX: "The typographical conventions listed here are for ease of reading only. Editorial inconsistencies in the use of typography are unintentional and have no normative meaning in POSIX.1-2024." I find the suffix () helpful, but if people want to remove them from a future version of POSIX, well, they can file that recommendation :-).
