CCS/TM4C129ENCPDT: Smart quotes used in some GEL examples

Chester Gillon

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

A minor point, but have noticed that some of the examples in the GEL documents use smart quotes to terminate strings, rather than ASCII code 34 for double-quotes.

E.g. when paste the example from GEL_LoadGEL() into the CCS editor the quotes are not valid:

I don't know how the GEL documentation was prepared, but have seen similar issues when paste code examples (or command lines) into Microsoft Word which then decides to automatically convert ASCII code 34 into smart-quotes.

Hi Chester,

Thanks for the feedback. We will need to look at updating the formatting of our documentation. I'd like to see the syntax and example section of the document use a different font and avoid such issues as smart quotes being used to make copy & paste more effective.

The CCS 10.1.0 help has the same issue. It looks like the CCS help uses the same HTML as the content on the https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/index.html web site.
