Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] doc: git-log: convert pretty options to new doc format
Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2025 13:20:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01835272c2e92269ba0e571b29d0756f63fe9c79.1751203241.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1933.v2.git.1751203241.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

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

- Use _<placeholder>_ instead of <placeholder> in the description
- Use `backticks` for keywords and more complex option
descriptions. The new rendering engine will apply synopsis rules to
these spans.
