I do not think this is about "modern" vs "old style"; it is more about using the more appropriate mark-up and our desire has always been to use `literal` for things that users need to type literally. I notice that I didn't remove 'modern' from the title in the versoin below, though. Thanks. commit a184d836bcf1a557520095a90b22edf659ee88f2 Author: Taylor Blau <me@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Oct 1 09:18:50 2017 -0700 doc: use modern "`<literal>`"-style quoting for literal strings "'<string>'"-style quoting is not appropriate when quoting literal strings in the "Documentation/" subtree. In preparation for adding additional information to this section of git-for-each-ref(1)'s documentation, update them to use "`<literal>`" instead.
