Description Keith Roberts 2012-07-27 18:23:57 UTC

Description of problem:

Minor typo: should read '+' sign, not hyphen


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

6.2

This may be across all the documentation.


Under the preface it reads:


1.1. Typographic Conventions

...

Mono-spaced Bold

...

Key combinations can be distinguished from keycaps by the **hyphen** connecting each part of a key combination.

For example:
Press Enter to execute the command.

Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to the first virtual terminal. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to
return to your X-Windows session.

The first paragraph highlights the particular keycap to press. The second highlights two key combinations (each a set of three keycaps with each set pressed simultaneously).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should this not read:

[Key combinations can be distinguished from keycaps by the '+' sign connecting
each part of a key combination.]

Comment 3 Douglas Silas 2013-03-01 23:25:34 UTC

Where do you see a hyphen? 

In https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Security-Enhanced_Linux/pref-Security-Enhanced_Linux-Preface.html#idp19883264

...the text reads:

"Key combinations can be distinguished from an individual key by the plus sign that connects each part of a key combination."

Technically this could probably be improved by inserting a literal '+' instead of "plus", but that's just a question of semantics.

I'm going to close this because I don't see an actual error in the boilerplate, and fixing a trivial semantic issue across the Red Hat documentation set is not feasible. If you do reopen, please provide a direct link to something that illustrates an actual error on:
