From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <[email protected]>
This code block uses the placeholder `<subject>`. Let’s highlight this
placeholder properly by using the `synopsis` open block definition which
was introduced in a34d1d53 (doc: convert git-show to synopsis style,
2026-02-06). This renders the block like a code block but with emphasis
styling on placeholders, just like inline-verbatim (`) in running text.
Yes, note that open blocks since commit a34d1d53 can, on synopsis-style
docs like this one, be immediately preceded by `[synopsis]`, just like
the command synopsis is:
[synopsis]
(EXPERIMENTAL!) git format-rev - [...]
Cf. verse-style:
[verse]
'git name-rev' [...]

Notes (series):
v4:
• Fix block: use open block, not code block.[1] This is what was
done for the synopsis blocks in commit a34d1d53, the commit
mentioned here. I have tested this with what I believe are the
use-asciidoc (tool) and use-asciidoctor (tool):
make doc
make USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=1 doc
And they didn’t give any warnings. And they produced the correct
result.

• Add a paragraph to contrast synopsis code blocks with synopsis
command description after talk with Patrick on v1[1]

@@ -96,9 +96,10 @@ The mode `--stdin-mode=text` replaces each object name with the
formatted commit, i.e. the format `"%s"` would transform some commit
object name to `"<subject>"` without any termination. Like this:

Did we not fix this in "<subject>"?

It is safe to interactively read and write from this command since each
record is immediately flushed.
