[PATCH 0/4] A new batch of synopsis conversion

[Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget]

The conversion to synopsis continues. Now the commands are less common, so I
may propose larger PRs if it's ok.

[PATCH 1/4] doc: convert git-imap-send synopsis and options to new style

[Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget]

From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>

Convert git-imap-send from [verse]/single-quote style to the modern
synopsis-block style:

- Replace [verse] with [synopsis] in SYNOPSIS block
- Backtick-quote all OPTIONS terms
- Backtick-quote all config keys in config/imap.adoc
- Backtick-quote bare config key references in prose

[PATCH 2/4] doc: convert git-format-patch synopsis and options to new style

[Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget]

From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>

Replace [verse] with [synopsis] in the SYNOPSIS block and remove
single-quote formatting from the command name.

Backtick-quote all option terms in the OPTIONS section, convert
standalone placeholders to _<placeholder>_ form, and convert
single-quoted commands and tools in prose to backtick form.

Also update the included files:
- diff-options.adoc: backtick-quote the git-format-patch-specific
  option terms (-p, --no-stat, --max-depth=<depth>)
- format-patch-caveats.adoc: convert patch(1) to `patch`(1)

GIven that the last part of this hunk below uses backtick-quoting
for `prerequisite patch` and `patch id`, shouldn't the references to
`base commit`, and `prerequisite patch(es)` in the above also be
backtick quoted for consistency?

In fact, the formatting were swapped. For proper rendering and preservation of 
spaces, it should be:

The "base commit" is shown as "`base-commit:` " followed by the 40-hex of
the commit object name.  A "prerequisite patch" is shown as
"`prerequisite-patch-id:` " followed by the 40-hex "patch id", which can
be obtained by passing the patch through the `git patch-id --stable`
command.


Only the constant strings are back-ticked. The others are only quoted.

Will reroll.

[PATCH 3/4] doc: convert git-send-email synopsis and options to new style

[Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget]

From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>

Replace [verse] with [synopsis] in the SYNOPSIS block and remove
single-quote formatting from the command name.

Backtick-quote all option terms in the OPTIONS section, convert
the standalone placeholder _<encoding>_ in prose, fix single-quoted
server names to backtick form, and convert mbox(5) to `mbox`(5).

Also update config/sendemail.adoc: backtick-quote all configuration
key terms and fix a bare sendemail.aliasesFile reference in prose.

Is there a widely accepted guideline among AsciiDoc users governing
how many dashes should delimit these blocks, other than "at least
four, with the opening and closing counts matching"?  If so, what is
it?  We see five, six, five, and five dashes in the proposed changes
above, and in '[PATCH 1/4]' we saw nine.  Even if varying counts are
functionally equivalent, the inconsistency is a bit distracting.

Thanks.

"Widely accepted", I do not know. I would better frame it as "because at least 
four is needed and I'm lazy, then it's four". I'm not expert enough the 
asciidoc specification to have a definitive answer of mine, but the 
asciidoctor specification says exactly four [1]

We could indeed apply the rule of 4 dashes by default.

Note that this only applies because it is a listing block which does not 
accept nesting.

I will reroll.

Thanks.  Sounds like a good plan to me.

[PATCH v2 0/4] A new batch of synopsis conversion

[Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget]

The conversion to synopsis continues. Now the commands are less common, so I
may propose larger PRs if it's ok.

Changes since v1:

 * swap formats following comments
 * switch all listing blocks to 4 dash fences

From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>

Convert git-imap-send from [verse]/single-quote style to the modern
synopsis-block style:

- Replace [verse] with [synopsis] in SYNOPSIS block
- Backtick-quote all OPTIONS terms
- Backtick-quote all config keys in config/imap.adoc
- Backtick-quote bare config key references in prose

[Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget]

From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>

Replace [verse] with [synopsis] in the SYNOPSIS block and remove
single-quote formatting from the command name.

Backtick-quote all option terms in the OPTIONS section, convert
standalone placeholders to _<placeholder>_ form, and convert
single-quoted commands and tools in prose to backtick form.

Also update the included files:

- format-patch-caveats.adoc: convert patch(1) to `patch`(1)

[PATCH v2 3/4] doc: convert git-send-email synopsis and options to new style

[Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget]

From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>

Replace [verse] with [synopsis] in the SYNOPSIS block and remove
single-quote formatting from the command name.

Backtick-quote all option terms in the OPTIONS section, convert
the standalone placeholder _<encoding>_ in prose, fix single-quoted
server names to backtick form, and convert mbox(5) to `mbox`(5).

Also update config/sendemail.adoc: backtick-quote all configuration
key terms and fix a bare sendemail.aliasesFile reference in prose.
