The current emacs-25 should show a slightly different help buffer.=20 Assuming your (setq text-quoting-style 'grave), the help buffer should=20 look like this: text-quoting-style is a variable defined in `C source code'. Its value is grave Documentation: Style to use for single quotes in help and messages. Its value should be a symbol. `curve' means quote with curved single quotes =E2=80=98like this=E2=80=99= . `straight' means quote with straight apostrophes 'like this'. `grave' means quote with grave accent and apostrophe `like this'. The default value nil acts like `curve' if curved single quotes are displayable, and like `grave' otherwise. [back] I didn't quite follow your email, but are you suggesting that the second=20 line should look like this instead? Its value is `grave' and that would suffice to fix the problem that you see? If so, this=20 should be easy to arrange.
