Thanks, I've fixed these (and several more instances of "accomodate") on the emacs-23 branch, and a few additional ones on the trunk. > To repeat the command more than once, type additional `z''s: each > > ^^^^^^ > ... has never looked right. `z's' maybe? Ugly, perhaps, but that's not a typo, isn't it? Juanma ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Maybe not. Maybe I didn't mean to type `z's', but rather, `z's, yes, my guess, Juanma, is that /a/ single-quoted z is rendered thusly: `z', and that more than one single-quoted z, `z's. (The closing single quote looks like it wants to indicate contraction, say, ``The single-quoted z is getting the best of me,'' but it isn't---not with that opening single quote.) [I see that you've closed this bug.] Thanks for making the corrections. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Sort of. It comes from the use of @samp{z}'s or similar in Texinfo. The important part is that this looks right in the printed version of the manual; the emulation we do in Info is less important. So if the Texinfo source uses @code{s} or @kbd{s} or anything but @samp, leave the apostrophe alone; if it uses @samp, remove the apostrophe. That's because @samp produces single quotes in the printed copy as well, while the others don't. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
