Tag: acute-accent-in-manual-page
Severity: info
Check: documentation/manual
Renamed-From: acute-accent-in-manpage
Explanation: This manual page uses the <code>\'</code> groff
sequence. Usually, the intent is to generate an apostrophe, but that
sequence actually renders as an acute accent.
.
For an apostrophe or a single closing quote, use plain <code>'</code>.
For single opening quote, i.e. a straight downward line <code>'</code>
like the one used in shell commands, use <code>'\(aq'</code>.
.
In case this tag was emitted for the second half of a
<code>'\\'</code> sequence, this is indeed no acute accent, but still
wrong: A literal backslash should be written <code>\e</code> in the
groff format, i.e. a <code>'\\'</code> sequence needs to be changed
to <code>'\e'</code> which also won't trigger this tag.
