[PATCH v4 1/8] pretty-formats: define "literal formatting code"

From
Andy Koppe <andy.koppe@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<20230820085336.8615-2-andy.koppe@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<20230820085336.8615-1-andy.koppe@gmail.com>
From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The description for a %(trailer) option already uses this term without having a definition anywhere in the document, and we are about to add another one in %(decorate) that uses it.

 - Placeholders that expand to a single literal character:
 '%n':: newline
 '%%':: a raw '%'
-'%x00':: print a byte from a hex code
+'%x00':: '%x' followed by two hexadecimal digits is replaced with a
