It may be easier to just use double-quotes consistently, even for
ones
that do not need it, to give readers one less thing to wonder
about.
So here's a patch that does that. I also noticed a few other
deficiencies in that final example, which are fixed in the second
patch.
I hope I'm not stealing Douglas's thunder. :)
My one-line patch definitely wasn't thunderous -- I didn't even know
how to write a comment in a config file. As posited upthread, I did
interpret the example as presenting config file syntax, so I got
tripped up by the semicolon there. This patch makes it more clear.
I use git (thanks!) without having looked at the code, so I figured I
was a good example of the target audience for this doc. Thanks for
making it more clear.
Cheers,
