Subject: [PATCH 3/3] wwwtext: config comment improvements
Date: Wed,  9 Sep 2020 21:23:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200909212326.19561-4-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200909212326.19561-1-e@80x24.org>

Use the full URL of the inbox being mirrored to reduce ambiguity
(instead of just the inbox name).

Using asymmetric quotes (e.g `foo') improves readability for me
in that it's more obvious when a quote begins and ends.  It also
lights up fewer pixels and reduces visual noise compared to
double-quotes.

We'll also reflow the `mainrepo' vs `inboxdir' comment slightly
to emphasize the word `instead'.
