Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] doc: more consistency in environment variables format
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 00:35:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160607223507.18061-4-tom.russello@grenoble-inp.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160607223507.18061-1-tom.russello@grenoble-inp.org>
Wrap with backticks (monospaced font) unwrapped or single-quotes wrapped
(italic type) environment variables which are followed by the word
"environment". It was obtained with:
perl -pi -e "s/\'?(\\\$?[0-9A-Z\_]+)\'?(?= environment ?)/\`\1\`/g" *.txt
One of the main purposes is to stick to the CodingGuidelines as possible so
that people writting new documentation by mimicking the existing are more likely
to have it right (even if they didn't read the CodingGuidelines).

One reason behind the creation of this patch is that patch [2/3] led to minor
inconsistencies in some sentences as it only deals with GIT_* environment
variables and let others unchanged (for example `GIT_ASKPASS` and 'SSH_ASKPASS'
in Documentation/config.txt).
For this one, I had to manually change GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
(Documentation/date-formats.txt - l.4) and GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF
(Documentation/diff-generate-patch.txt - l.9) as the perl command didn't manage
these cases and so created minor inconsistencies.
