[DOC][PATCH] Fix apostrophe in Railties README

Reported by: miloops Assigned to: core
Priority: normal Milestone: 2.x
Component: Railties Version: edge
Severity: normal Keywords: tiny doc verified
Cc:

Description

This is a (very) tiny fix to Railties README, changing the apostrophe used in:

"Welcome aboard: You’re riding the Rails!"

to

"Welcome aboard: You're riding the Rails!"

I think the second one is the right one to be used, as it is used as apostrophe everywhere in the documentation and the first one produces "Welcome aboard: You’re riding the Rails!" when documentation is generated.

I noticed this in http://api.rubyonrails.org/

Maybe while you're working on index.html - maybe you could fix the mailing list link? Currently it points to lists.rubyonrails.org (which isn't very helpful) Maybe it could point to http://www.rubyonrails.org/community or something?

Hi Chris,

I can't find any link to "lists.rubyonrails.org" in the Railties/README, that is the one shown in api.rubyonrails.org. Maybe you can point me out which line is it, or maybe is in another file.

Thank you.

Oh whoops! Teach me for not looking closely at the patch! I thought this was for railties/html/index.html (which is what my comment is referring to)

Although, the ’ symbol can also be used (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe) - so maybe this is an rdoc bug?

But in the mean time, +1 to get rid of that nasty ’ in the docs
