I went through the Emacs, Elisp, and Elisp intro manuals looking for this sort of problem and fixed the ones that I found in commit ef7dbdf5873bf0a1f3f0e64e5d019e74d5b15b9e. The sentence Drew mentioned now looks like this: Emacs handles three different conventions for how to separate lines in a file: newline (Unix), carriage-return linefeed (DOS), and just carriage-return (Mac). which avoids the quoting issue entirely.
