v2:
- removed EM/EN DASH conversion from this patchset;
Are you still thinking about doing the
EN DASH --> "--"
EM DASH --> "---"
conversion?
Yes, but I intend to submit it on a separate patch series, probably after
having this one merged. Let's first cleanup the large part of the
conversion-generated UTF-8 char noise ;-)
That's not going to change what the documentation will
look like in the HTML and PDF output forms, and I think it would make
life easier for people are reading and editing the Documentation/*
files in text form.
Agreed. I'm also considering to add a couple of cases of this char:
- U+2026 ('…'): HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
As Sphinx also replaces "..." into HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS.
-
Anyway, I'm opting to submitting those in separate because it seems
that at least some maintainers added EM/EN DASH intentionally.
So, it may generate case-per-case discussions.
Also, IMO, at least a couple of EN/EM DASH cases would be better served
with a single hyphen.
Thanks,
Mauro
