[PATCH v3 00/16] Replace some bad characters on documents

[PATCH v3 00/16] Replace some bad characters on documents

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST 
conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that
aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause 
troubles when parsed by the documentation build system.

Replace the occurences of the following characters:

            - U+00a0 (' '): NO-BREAK SPACE
            - U+00ad ('­'): SOFT HYPHEN
            - U+2010 ('‐'): HYPHEN
            - U+2217 ('∗'): ASTERISK OPERATOR
            - U+feff (''): BOM

I'll submit in separate another series to address other character occurrences.

v3:
  - removed curly commas and changed the patch descriptions.
v2:
  - removed EM/EN dashes and changed the patch descriptions.

[PATCH v3 13/16] docs: sound: kernel-api: writing-an-alsa-driver.rst: replace some characters

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST
conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that
aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause
troubles when parsed by the documentation build system.

Replace the occurences of the following characters:

	- U+00a0 (' '): NO-BREAK SPACE
	  as it can cause lines being truncated on PDF output

Better.

But you still don't say *why* it matters whether given characters are
trivial to reach with standard keyboard layouts, or specify *what*
'troubles' the offending characters cause.

See the patches in the series. The reason for each particular case
is there on each patch, like on this one:

	[PATCH v3 13/16] docs: sound: kernel-api: writing-an-alsa-driver.rst: replace some characters

	The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST
	conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that
	aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause
	troubles when parsed by the documentation build system.
	 
	Replace the occurences of the following characters:
	
		- U+00a0 (' '): NO-BREAK SPACE
		  as it can cause lines being truncated on PDF output
