No sure about the use of ` as quote character in English... I would have used either the single quote (') or double quote (") characters. It seems there is also inconsistencies across files related to the use of quotes. Currently we have a bit of everything. |
|
It seems wikipedia has a nice page about quotation marks across languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark |
|
There is also another page about quotation marks in English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_marks_in_English |

since those are commands, using ` will produce a kbd markup when the comment is interpreted as markdown... for this reason, i would use double quotes for normal quotes and ` around commands. i don't think that the docstring should be in markdown, but where it does not hurt, i would go for what gives the best result. |
|
>> since those are commands These are not commands, just function arguments, so I'm not sure a <kbd> markup is suited in this case. |
|
This is code, they should all be ' and not ` |
|
ok, jean, they are function arguments, which are normally layout as <kbd> in html... i don't think that this changes much my statement... if you want to allow a nicer output in the generated API documentation, you're welcome to accept the patch as is. if you prefer to only use ' or ", just replace the `s in the patch. just don't leave as is because the unmatched `s screw up the html output and does not really make any sense. (of course it does not urge... but it would be nice to see this fixed...) as my last words, a longer comment with some background information: as far as i know, most docstring formats allow or define some formatting - doxygen (the one informally used by scribus) lists markdown as the first choice but also others support others (https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/docblocks.html#docstructure) - javadoc uses some sort of html (https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/java/javadoc-tool.html#format) - python docstring seem to use ReSt (which is rather verbose and intrusive) personally, i don't see much interest in having a formatting in the docstring produced by python (nobody really looks at them), but if we can have a nicer html produced from them, i'm all for it. of course, if this does not request more effort or produces any other issue in the code. to me, markdown seems to be the least intrusive formatting: it does not hurt when reading/writing the docstring in c++ and does not distract in the python docstring output. you can see here what happens if you leave it as is, and guess how nicely formatted "scaleToFrame" and "proportional" could be: http://impagina.org/scribus-scripter-api/image-frame/#setscaleimagetoframe at the end, i'd like to produce a nice html and qt help for the scripter and achieve this with the least effort for everybody. i'm still convinced that, for scribus, the best way is to use the docstrings to generate the API documentation. and i'd be delighted to use some non obtrusive markdown to improve the formatting (correctly format the lists, code tags, clickable links (sometimes they will need <> around them)... not much more). so i'm happy if you accept the ` quotes for references to the code (commands, arguments, ...) and i don't really care that much if you don't. just don't leave it as is. |

Given Craig preference's, I used the single quote character. I also committed a similar fix to cmdmani.h. Given the inconsistencies, we should later decide if we convert all docstrings to single quotes or if we convert them to double quotes. |
