From: David Bremner Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2021 12:56:15 +0000 (-0300) Subject: doc/sexp-queries: replace definition lists with block quotes. X-Git-Tag: 0.35_rc0~96 X-Git-Url: https://git.notmuchmail.org/git?p=notmuch;a=commitdiff_plain;h=93104f0d9de4fa2919896a55dfdd207bbaf22589 doc/sexp-queries: replace definition lists with block quotes. This document contains meaningful markup in the terms, which makeinfo complains about. Replace the use of definition lists with regular paragraphs containing quote blocks. This is accomplished by splitting the "term" from the definition with a blank line. --- diff --git a/doc/man7/notmuch-sexp-queries.rst b/doc/man7/notmuch-sexp-queries.rst index 019d15f0..d3b18593 100644 --- a/doc/man7/notmuch-sexp-queries.rst +++ b/doc/man7/notmuch-sexp-queries.rst @@ -31,10 +31,12 @@ An *s-expression* is either an atom, or list of whitespace delimited s-expressions inside parentheses.
