vnstat.conf.5: use single closing ' #168

Closed cgzones closed 3 years ago

cgzones commented 3 years ago

Currently the man page shows

'#`

, let show it

'#'

Found by Lintian (acute-accent-in-manual-page)

This manual page uses the \' groff sequence. Usually, the intent to
generate an apostrophe, but that sequence actually renders as a an acute
accent.

For an apostrophe or a single closing quote, use plain '. For single
opening quote, i.e. a straight downward line ' like the one used in
shell commands, use &#92;(aq.

I suspect \ '#\' was, at least at some point, intended to be \'#\' (without the space) which would have made some sense. Could you remove that escaped space too, unless Lintian knows some reason for its existence?

Indeed, seems like it got changed in https://github.com/vergoh/vnstat/commit/e5c5e2da15a2f77c1af214d10ac73efd7a4173c9 by accident
