The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/Markdown->ReST conversion and some automatic rules which exists on certain text editors like LibreOffice turned ASCII characters into some UTF-8 alternatives that are better displayed on html and PDF. While it is OK to use UTF-8 characters in Linux, it is better to use the ASCII subset instead of using an UTF-8 equivalent character as it makes life easier for tools like grep, and are easier to edit with the some commonly used text/source code editors. Also, Sphinx already do such conversion automatically outside literal blocks: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/smartquotes.html So, replace the occurences of the following UTF-8 characters: - U+2019 ('’'): RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> --- Documentation/arm64/arm-acpi.rst | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
