Subject: [PATCH 1/2] doc: fix list continuation in alias subsection example
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:12:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224171245.458377-2-jonatan@jontes.page> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224171245.458377-1-jonatan@jontes.page>
The example showing the equivalence between alias.last and
alias.last.command was missing the list continuation marks (+
between the shell session block and the following prose, leaving
the paragraph detached from the list item in the rendered output.
