typesetting error for "--" in manual #18

Closed dougo closed 13 years ago

dougo commented 13 years ago

The manual says "–compress-javascript" when it should say "--compress-javascript" (i.e. the two hyphens turn into a Unicode dash). Same for "--verbose". This is pretty minor, but I was temporarily confused about whether it meant one hyphen or two...

I see. I probably will need to use the non-breaking hyphen character described in http://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/base.html#(def._((lib._scribble/base..rkt)._-~7e-))

Thanks; I'll patch the docs shortly.

I think you can use verbatim?

But that would be too easy, right? :)

Doh! Thanks. Verbatim it is then.
