Subject: [PATCH] docs: format kernel-parameters -- as code
Date:   Thu, 27 Jun 2019 15:59:38 +0200
Message-Id: <20190627135938.3722-1-steve@sk2.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The current ReStructuredText formatting results in "--", used to
indicate the end of the kernel command-line parameters, appearing as
an en-dash instead of two hyphens; this patch formats them as code,
"``--``", as done elsewhere in the documentation.
