From c6d0c1b1385dec083d5153784ad523b01e202149 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Flatt Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 18:43:11 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] "under " -> "on "; "X" -> "Unix" I originally picked "under" as the preposition to go before a platform name, but obviously you should build "on" a platform, and "under" suddenly annoys me. The choice of "on" is now codified in the documentation style guide. Meanwhile, "Unix" insted of "X" seems more clear and consistent in the `racket/gui' docs. More usefully, this patch also fixes a few out-of-date platform-specific claims. original commit: f34a31cac945a622ea5994ca270cc5e253c795ed --- collects/scribblings/scribble/style.scrbl | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/collects/scribblings/scribble/style.scrbl b/collects/scribblings/scribble/style.scrbl index 29c55438..cec4848c 100644 --- a/collects/scribblings/scribble/style.scrbl +++ b/collects/scribblings/scribble/style.scrbl @@ -58,6 +58,15 @@ than a hidden abstraction in the document implementation.
