New submission from Richard Gibson <richard.gib...@gmail.com>: The content at docs.python.org seems to be inserting language-dependent "smart quotes" in code blocks, which mangles backslashes and sequences like `'''`. Observed at https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-and-bytes-literals , which renders
longstring ::= “”’” longstringitem* “”’” | ‘”“”’ longstringitem* ‘”“”’ instead of longstring ::= "'''" longstringitem* "'''" | '"""' longstringitem* '"""' and stringescapeseq ::= “" <any source character> instead of stringescapeseq ::= "\" <any source character> , and looks even worse in other languages: longstring ::= » »” » longstringitem* » »” » | “ »« »” longstringitem* “ »« »” longstring ::= 「」』」 longstringitem* 「」』」 | 『」「」』 longstringitem* 『」「」』 Running `make html` locally produces the desired output, so whatever's going on appears specific to the public site. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 303988 nosy: docs@python, gibson042 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation renders incorrectly versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31737> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
