Subject: bug#32546: 26.1: checkdoc uses smart quotes
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2018 17:03:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a7p7eabd.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
From emacs -Q, write:
(defun foo ()
"A major-mode."
(+ 1 1))
and do M-x checkdoc. It'll complain about major-mode needing to be
quoted. Hit "f" and you get:
(defun foo ()
"A ‘major-mode’."
(+ 1 1))
instead of
(defun foo ()
"A `major-mode'."
(+ 1 1))
I know that docstrings you see via e.g. C-h f use "smart" quotes now,
but I found it surprising that they're getting put into docstrings
themselves.
Thanks,
Alex
