Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] doc: replay: improve config description
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2026 18:04:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <V2_doc_replay_improve_config.769@msgid.xyz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <V2_CV_doc_replay_config.767@msgid.xyz>

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

First of all, this bullet list for `--ref-action` introduces a term with
a colon.  This is exactly what a description list is, structurally. Let’s
be sylistically consistent and use the description list markup
construct. Let’s also drop the harmless but unneeded indentation.

Second, let’s replace the inline-verbatim `git replay` with a link
to git-replay(1), since we are naming the command. But make that
conditional so that we avoid a self-link inside git-replay(1).[1]

† 1: See e.g. e7b3a768 (doc: git-init: rework config item
     init.templateDir, 2024-03-10) for another example of
     avoiding self-linking

Notes (series):
    v2:
    • Keep the description list for `replay.refAction` (Junio)
    • Now rewrite the description list like in patch 1/3 (it’s
      technically an unordered list)
    • Msg: mention a previous commit which also avoided self-linking.
      This helps establish a bit more context for why we do this.
