Follow-up Comment #11, bug #60836 (project groff): [comment #10 comment #10:] > The following commit is pending; please let me know what you think.
Er, I failed to do that before this went to press (as commit fbdfd927 <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=fbdfd927>), but I think it's a great set of refinements and clarifications. If I had to quibble, I'd wonder whether, in a coding rather than a typesetting context, "neutral apostrophes" is a better descriptor than "single quotes." Programmers are certainly more used to calling them single quotes; and even to noncoders, either term should be understandable. Also, as delimiters for strings, they function semantically more as quotes than as apostrophes. At this point in the manual, there shouldn't be reason to worry that users might interpret "single quotes" as U+2018 and U+2019, since it has previously established that groff code is limited to Latin-1. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60836> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
