Hi list, Just out of curiosity: Why do quotation marks, in the HTML docs, appear as ``example'' instead of "example"? More specifically, why does the style-sheet /usr/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/share/sgml/freebsd.dsl convert[1] <quote>example</quote> to ``example'' and not to "example"? Searching the archives, I found a thread from Feb 2002, Message-ID:<3C652A94.2070906@pittgoth.com> URL:<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=546854+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2002/freebsd-doc/20020210.freebsd-doc>; , in which this was discussed, but not resolved. Is this a typographic convention, or simply a FreeBSD-doc-ism?
