[PATCH 1/2 v3] doc/CodingGuidelines: URLs and paths as monospace.

[PATCH 1/2 v3] doc/CodingGuidelines: URLs and paths as monospace.

[Corentin BOMPARD]

The current documentation uses both quotes (italics) and backquotes
(monospace) to render URLs and pathnames, which is inconsistant.
Document a best practice in CodingGuidelines to help reduce
inconsistencies in the futur.

We set the best practice to using backquotes, since:

* It is already an established practice. For exemple:

  $ git grep "'[^']/*[^']'" | wc -l
  206

  $ git grep '`[^`]/*[^`]`' | wc -l
  690

  There are false on both sides, but after a cursory look at the
  output of both, It doesn't seem the false positive rate is really
  higher in the second case.

  At least, this shows that the existing documentation uses
  inconsistent formatting, and that it would be good to do
  something about it.

* It may be debatable whether path names need to be typed in
  monospace but having them in italics is really unusual.

Thanks. A few comments:

In patch 1/2:

* drop the full stop from the first line of the commit message

* s/futur/future/ in the commit message

* s/There are false/& positives/ in the commit message

* s/both, It/both, it/

In patch 2/2, there's a 'man curl' which probably ought to be
converted to `man curl` (per paragraph updated by patch 1/2), but
perhaps that's outside the scope of this patch series (though it would
be easy enough to do -- but not necessarily worth a re-roll). Nothing
else popped out at me while scanning the patch.

Also,

* s/inconsistant/inconsistent/ in the first paragraph of the commit message.

The range-diff you presented looks good and addresses all the (minor)
issues raised.

Nice catches, thanks.

Yes, I have no objection in fixing it but I'd rather limit the scope of
the patch and keep other fixes for another time.

Thanks,
