Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] dev-manual: fix styling of references to bmaptool
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2024 14:47:00 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241218144654.852310-2-michael.opdenacker@rootcommit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241218144654.852310-1-michael.opdenacker@rootcommit.com>
From: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@rootcommit.com>
To follow the styling conventions when we are
refering to the name of a tool instead of the command itself
(documentation/standards.md).
This also improves the HTML rendering of the bmaptools subsection.
