From ca768288b650a4929bc1d58783a929a9a792e30e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Rast Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 17:49:12 +0100 Subject: Documentation: format full commands in typewriter font Use `code snippet` style instead of 'emphasis' for `git cmd ...` according to the following rules: * The SYNOPSIS sections are left untouched. * If the intent is that the user type the command exactly as given, it is `code`. If the user is only loosely referred to a command and/or option, it remains 'emphasised'.
