Re: [PATCH] Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst: Fix syntax error and Describe details using table

0) If you have received a similar reply, please refer to the latest reply.1) Accidentally used Chinese Input Method Editor, leaving full-width symbols during the test, causing the double dashes of "--" changed into "long single dash" which should not have occurred.2) In the current document, the "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" table does not correctly use the format of the rst document, so in the website https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/vm/page_owner.html, it does not look good. Therefore, the "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" has been adjusted using the format of the rst table. *This* is the main purpose.3) In version 1 before, the sentence look like:"Table 1 xxx(some explaination)." and "Table 2 xxx(some explaination).", in these 2 "long" sentences, using "." instead of ":".Honestly, complex sentence is unnecessary. When I tried to modify the sentence, I ignore the strict distinction between "." and ":".In short, This modification is unnecessary.I'm terribly sorry about that.4) Thanks, Shenghong Han------------------ Original ------------------From:  "Akira Yokosawa";Date:  Sat, Apr 30, 2022 02:40 PMTo:  "Shenghong Han"; "Jonathan Corbet"; Cc:  "akpm"; "baihaowen"; "seakeel"; "linux-doc"; "linux-kernel"; "caoyixuan2019"; "yejiajian2018"; "冯老师"; Subject:  Re: [PATCH] Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst: Fix syntax error and Describe details using table On 2022/04/30 3:19,Shenghong Han wrote:> Some syntax errors exist in "page_owner.rst".

It looks confusing to me.To remedy this, you need inline literal markers of  1) For ``--sort`` option.and  2) For ``--curl`` option.By the way, this patch changes ":" to "." at the end of them.Are they intentional changes?  If so, why?        Thanks, Akira
