From: Jean-Noël Avila Date: Sun, 25 May 2025 20:27:06 +0000 (+0000) Subject: doc: switch merge config description to new synopsis format X-Git-Tag: v2.50.0-rc1~8^2~3 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=90a837a72087595cc111e181b754f56561de87aa;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git doc: switch merge config description 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. Additionally, a list of option possible values has been reformatted as a standalone definition list.
