'text-quoting-style' now affects only ` and '

2016-05-10T14:41:40+00:00

Change 'text-quoting-style' so that it no longer affects
formatting of curved quotes in format arguments to functions like
'message'.  In particular, when this variable's value is 'grave',
all quotes in formats are output as-is.

Quote less in manuals

2015-09-15T15:48:44+00:00

The manuals often used quotes ``...'' when it is better to use @dfn or
@code or capitalized words or no quoting at all.  For example, there is
no need for the `` and '' in “if a variable has one effect for
@code{nil} values and another effect for ``non-@code{nil}'' values”.
Reword the Emacs, Lisp intro, and Lisp reference manuals to eliminate
unnecessary quoting like this, and to use @dfn etc. instead when called
for (Bug#21472).
