Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Veness (pelago) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: optparse docs double-dash confusion Initial Comment: Page http://docs.python.org/lib/optparse-terminology.html says: The GNU project introduced "-" followed by a series of hyphen-separated words, e.g. "-file" or "-dry-run". but should say: The GNU project introduced "--" followed by a series of hyphen-separated words, e.g. "--file" or "--dry-run". Also at the bottom of that page: "-v" and "-report" are both options. should be: "-v" and "--report" are both options. It looks in general that there is a documentation rendering problem when double-dash appears in quotes. Other double-dash items on that page are ok, when not in quotes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1432838&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
