Subject: Documentation options: Code or not?
Date: Sun, 04 Jan 2026 13:04:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2076768.usQuhbGJ8B@debian-mbp> (raw)
I noticed that git-scm.com's documentation for `git-am` has a different color
for the rerere options than it does for the other ones. Those options are
imported from rerere-options.adoc, which adds code backticks to the keys:
`--rerere-autoupdate`::
`--no-rerere-autoupdate`::
After the rerere mechanism reuses a recorded resolution...
I started a quick commit to drop the backticks from rerere-options, but then
sampled a few other doc pages. Some use backticks (git-merge, git-repo), and
some don't (git-prune, git-name-rev). Is there a preferred style? Would an
update to make them consistent be useful or just annoying?
Thank you,
Michael
