From c9e3d472f9b954c7ab720b37d8ee55837640758f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Todd Zullinger Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 10:33:50 -0500 Subject: doc/SubmittingPatches: improve text formatting 049e64aa50 ("Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDoc", 2017-11-12) changed the `git blame` and `git shortlog` examples given in the section on sending your patches. In order to italicize the `$path` argument the commands are enclosed in plus characters as opposed to backticks. The difference between the quoting methods is that backtick enclosed text is not subject to further expansion. This formatting makes reading SubmittingPatches in a git clone a little more difficult. In addition to the underscores around `$path` the `--` chars in `git shortlog --no-merges` must be replaced with `{litdd}`. Use backticks to quote these commands. The italicized `$path` is lost from the html version but the commands can be read (and copied) more easily by users reading the text version. These readers are more likely to use the commands while submitting patches. Make it easier for them.
