From: Jean-Noël Avila Date: Sun, 25 May 2025 20:27:03 +0000 (+0000) Subject: doc: convert merge options to new synopsis format X-Git-Tag: v2.50.0-rc1~8^2~6 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5f3213232fa052e62b6ec33447aa50936ef1e232;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git doc: convert merge options to new synopsis format - Use __ instead of in the description - Use `backticks` for keywords and more complex option descriptions. The new rendering engine will apply synopsis rules to these spans.
