why default is written twice?
14:52
<zcorpan>
"default value" is a placeholder
14:53
<chargeitall>
why it is not written with italic like the parameter placeholder ?
14:56
<zcorpan>
"parameter" is a placeholder for a variable name. See the example below.
15:07
<chargeitall>
the example below is for an algorithm parameter not a variable parameter. A variable is declared with "let" and changed with "set"
15:30
<chargeitall>
..., be a new list.
..., be null.
..., is a string.
..., is true.
after verb to be there is no italic except for
..., be target
why?
15:44
<annevk>
Because target is a variable and the others are not?
15:45
<annevk>
Although it seems there's a bug there as the second instance of target doesn't have italics.
15:47
<chargeitall>
yes.
15:51
<chargeitall>
To clarify, you are uncertain whether to use italics for the second instance of target?
15:52
<annevk>
I'm not, it should be italics.
15:53
<chargeitall>
okay
16:00
<chargeitall>
Do you create issue for each bug you encounter?
16:09
<annevk>
It's fine to create a PR directly, just make sure you can sign the agreement.
16:13
<zcorpan>
OK yes, but does the example make it clearer why one of them is italic?
16:14
<chargeitall>
I have never done this. I need to google it first
