Don't know for spanish or french, but in italian the «» seems to be more specific to quote "a text" or a piece of speech, while '' is more correct to quote "a single word or sentence". In computer science speech I'd say that: « = push context, create a wholly new context » = pop context 'x' = take "x" from a different context and talk about it here In this regard, '' seems more correct to quote a file name to me... (in italian!!! I don't know about spanish or french, it may be completely different of course!!). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJF/P+HAAoJELBiMTth2oCDUu0QAIGYkKsfljEOIjIMC+DqxpMS nSkeReVVo+TT9bD5Y5udNaUTF8M0kiWb2/E1GoppIJEqmZhytokAiEnbsG+US4cQ 7GppTbLULNNrJMKd5LvpqQQSbwHuA61Nfrtq875B07qLmKgx/EAUEpU6GnxOJtfN jchjHiycj6Qpz6aKrd2By7BlfFuzdYzHz7Qb4gI75q6EbM1qsIL8K8NdHDuHXrHG T0RGvi6xN9l3SvQdgFaGaYU4IPa7BcRY9Pla7iD45GIV/sEJ65sD09ZeQr/Y2sBJ NrXHibwwAKsguR0G66f9D9B1s8gibG55U4vIglxLWa1g5qLMSfn2nKnSh4zQAsQd NIqMReCn8q+3o0HLrKQHys/mN1tzdB2XKtN2WMwC4xkYqcZJof3oaZq+WFF4WxOK WDxdFi4dyDQlubZ5iwH35iP9e+aYTydPv6ARNOxB5ZLLodBGtx0ZAKlmpirVEP4L PK5wLHBwEY6Y/7TH/8ejw6FgRBMlAnkBQ9HMTBaHKnslZVsNMEEBqqV2NS46VxXa uST6S3RulaCszd5MdYsDLm36i3tv9kr29lGV1zw12QsbLCpA/BV7vdMHHp8lkpQA HaGOHeLJ+MPTrT72ENT+QZmNWcR4GRjDAcDqMtISaUI7XuommP+49oS2/UAzoT5L p21IHaT5HXxM9bsWz+vT =J1+v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
