Subject: [PATCH] sindex.1: Use ' for a plain quote char
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2020 23:41:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200731214125.21424-1-uwe@kleine-koenig.org> (raw)
lintian (a linter for Debian packages) warns:
N: This manual page uses the \' groff sequence. Usually, the intent to
N: generate an apostrophe, but that sequence actually renders as a an acute
N: accent.
N:
N: For an apostrophe or a single closing quote, use plain '. For single
N: opening quote, i.e. a straight downward line ' like the one used in
N: shell commands, use \(aq.
I'm not following its advice but stick to ' as is done in other places
of sindex.1.
