Guidebook.mn single quotes

Browse Source

Replace `C' and 'C' with \(oqC\(cq (open and close single quote).
For plain text output, the new form generates the first form.  Most
single quotes were using that, but there was quite a bit of C-style
char quoting that was somewhat inconsisent.

There are several text changes too, mostly small.  The few I can
remember are
  replacing several ``#twoweapon'' with `X';
  pets:  change 'cat' to 'kitten' and mention that horses are
    vegetartian where it claims that pets usually feed themselves;
  NETHACKOPTIONS:  add `bash' to the shells mentioned,
    describe `NETHACKOPTIONS=@filename' better,
    shorten the example (it's still too long for Guidebook.txt);
  Configuring Status Hilites:  expand the `behavior' descriptions
    to mention the value limits for percentage and absolute, and
    include post-3.6.1 '<=' and '>=' for them,
    add omitted fields `hunger' and `title' to text match.

I also changed a bunch of examples in the option configuation section
from bold font to constant-width Roman which more closely resembles
the \tt font in TeX.  Probably a whole bunch of other bold items
ought to follow suit.

Issues:
  title for section 9.3 (NETHACKOPTIONS) is too close to the sample
    config file at the end of section 9.2;
  as mentioned above, the sample ``setenv NETHACKOPTIONS foo'' is
    much too long for Guidebook.txt, and ``NETHACKOPTIONS=foo'' is
    slightly too long; they're ok in Guidebook.ps (assuming default
    page size);
  does `WIZKIT=~/wizkit.txt' actually work?  That's the example shown.
