From d24220b9e81e75c14a9e67d71a60dd81a1ba5467 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 19:19:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: git-checkout: fix placeholder markup The placeholder markup is underscore (_), not backtick (`) as well. The inline-verbatim markup (backticks) handle interior formatting. This means in this case that it applies HTML `` to the underscores and `` to the placeholder. That is the effect, anyway; we can see from the rest of 042d6f34 (doc: git-checkout: clarify `-b` and `-B`, 2025-09-10) that this was probably an unintended mix-up.
