The new Chromium class likes — like me! — to use dashes in the writing!
However, I believe it should use an em-dash instead of the hyphen.
Luckily this is easy: we have enabled “typographic quotes” in `mdbook`,
which also handles the conversion of `---` to `—` in the generated HTML.
So I normalized the single existing em-dash to a triple-dash to make it
more consistent (and hopefully make it easier for translators to
consistently enter these characters).
This builds on the work of @dyoo in
https://github.com/google/mdbook-i18n-helpers/pull/69: by adding a
special `<!-- mdbook-xgettext: skip -->` comment, we can skip the
following code block.
I also modified a few code blocks to remove translatable text: variable
names are not expected to be translated, so it’s fine to have a line
with `println!("foo: {foo}")` in the code block.
This PR removes 36 messages from the POT file. The number of lines drop
by 633 (3%).
Part of #1257.
* compound types: disambiguate that length is not 'same'
* basic syntax: clarify preference for consts and quickly justify unsafety of static mut
* basic-syntax: take review feedback into account on consts/statics
* basic-syntax: be careful not to call `const` defns variables
variables in rust are `place`s in a formal sense and name objects in an informal one; `const` merely abbreviates an expression
