Subject: [PATCH] Clarify documentation for the %\1, .., %\N template expansion
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 01:26:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2oa2hs0gp.fsf@brautaset.org> (raw)


Hello! I failed to understand this part of the template expansion, and
I'm hoping you will consider this an improvement. I mistook the %\n for
a newline and glossed over the description. I'm hoping this makes it
clearer that it's a sequence of placeholders.

I haven't signed the CLA, but I'm hoping this change is small enough for
that not to be necessary. (Although I don't have a problem with signing
the CLA if you prefer that.)
