To make things easier we could install the attached patch, so that people can continue to type ` and ' like they're used to, when editing etc/NEWS. Alternatively we could revert commit 4235d2d9eaa3b64d3172f6c60f1e71704795af89 and go back to straight quoting 'like this' in etc/NEWS, as was done after my first patch today. That would be adequate too, even though (as John said) it is less consistent with the rest of the documentation. The main point is that grave quoting `like this' is not right in user-facing documentation. --------------090809030002060005040808 Content-Type: text/x-patch; name="news.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="news.diff" diff --git a/etc/NEWS b/etc/NEWS index 8f271f5..11f158a 100644 --- a/etc/NEWS +++ b/etc/NEWS @@ -2023,5 +2023,6 @@ along with GNU Emacs.
