`e.g.` and `i.e.` look nicer than `eg` and `ie` #3748

yuvallanger · 2014-11-01T15:18:51Z

Adding many more eg to e.g. replacements.

I ran:

 find agg24/ CXX CXX5 doc examples/ lib/ LICENSE/ release/ src/ test/ ttconv/ unit/ -type f -exec sed -i 's/\beg\b/e.g./g' {} \;

and then manually filtered for errors.

Didn't we do a massive amount of work recently to standardize the other way?

yuvallanger · 2014-11-01T15:23:36Z

I'm terribly sorry. I should have asked before doing anything.

tacaswell · 2014-11-01T15:26:23Z

@yuvallanger No worries, I'm sorry you did a bunch of redundent work!

See: #1916 (original issues #1423) and we standardized on 'e.g.'. I suspect that is the reason that the PR won't merge cleanly.

WeatherGod · 2014-11-01T15:29:29Z

Could probably use similar work for things like "ie" to "i.e."

@tacaswell The reason is that I used v1.0.x-maint as the guidelines suggested. @WeatherGod said I should ask for a pull request into v1.4.x instead, but I forgot I used v1.0.x-maint as my.. hmm.. what is the technically correct term here? Source branch? Base branch?

Anyways, it's my fault alone.

tacaswell · 2014-11-01T15:35:49Z

I would suggest checking out the latest branch (either 1.4.x or master, lean towards v1.4.x) and re-run that command.

And where do the docs suggest working against 1.0.x-maint? That should not there (that branch was last touched in 2011)...

yuvallanger · 2014-11-01T15:42:40Z

CONTRIBUTING.md leads to:

http://matplotlib.org/devel/coding_guide.html

where it says: In general, simple bugfixes that are unlikely to introduce new bugs of their own should be merged onto the maintenance branch.

I figured that means I should PR into the branch saying maint...

yuvallanger · 2014-11-01T15:51:53Z

Will it be alright if I follow #1916 and replace eg with e.g., instead of e.g. and also place a comma after all bare e.g.? Is it possible to follow-up directly in #1916?

tacaswell · 2014-11-01T15:54:27Z

Ah, fair enough. That documentation should be clarified and the old branches should probably be removed.

I would strongly suggest working off of 1.4.x (which is now the 'maintenance branch') as other PRs could have changed the same doc strings between now and where ever you base you edits from which will result is (really hard to resolve) conflicts when we try to merge the changes into 1.4.x.

yuvallanger · 2014-11-01T17:00:48Z

That's it. I hope you like it. I don't know much about style guidelines, so I won't change anything further.

I should probably use this same PR for the ie to i.e..
