[PATCH, fortran] Standardize en-dashes to em-dashes.
- From: Brooks Moses <bmoses at stanford dot edu>
- To: fortran at gcc dot gnu dot org
- Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 20:35:06 -0700
- Subject: [PATCH, fortran] Standardize en-dashes to em-dashes.
- Organization: Stanford University
The standard for em-dashes in GCC documentation is apparently "---", not
" -- ". There were a few cases of the wrong sort in the documentation;
this fixes them.
Checked with "make info" and "make pdf"; Committed to trunk as obvious.
