Subject: [PATCH 2/6] doc: line-range: improve formatting
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 12:47:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d3fc0a503b160ea15363a4465af4647bce6a30b.1603889270.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.774.git.1603889270.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@gmail.com>

Improve the formatting of the description of the line-range option '-L'
for `git log`, `gitk` and `git blame`:

- Use bold for <start>, <end> and <funcname>
- Use backticks for literals
