| ▲ | luismedel 7 months ago | parent [-] | | You put the most interesting part of your comment the last. BTW, it's "Additional Tools for Xcode", without the final dot (sorry I couldn't resist) :-) | | |
| ▲ | frizlab 7 months ago | parent | next [-] | | No, the dot was inside the quotes on purpose. If you want to go the typographic way, you have the wrong kind of single quotes in your message (' vs. ’) and of course the wrong kind of double quotes. Having the comma outside the quotes is considered ok-ish, especially in the programming world, but it should usually be inside. Regarding the missing dot for your final sentence it’s alright; the smiley can sometimes be considered a replacement for it. | | |
| ▲ | luismedel 7 months ago | parent [-] | | Thanks. I didn't expect to have this answer to my snarky comment and I find it very interesting. As far as I remember, I never saw it this way in Spanish literature. | | |
| ▲ | frizlab 7 months ago | parent [-] | | You’re welcome! I’m not very well versed in Spanish typography, so I don’t know whether they do this or not in Spain :-) I have been fascinated by typography since a long time ago, though. If you want another weird (foreign) typography fact, I’m French and we have very strange rules in French, in particular for book titles, how to capitalize them. As an example, a book whose title would be “Les Belles Maisons bleues” would be capitalized differently than “Des belles maisons bleues.” (Nobody knows that in France; only the people interested in typography!) |

| ▲ | eru 7 months ago | parent | prev [-] | | Depending on your typographic conventions, it's customary to include final punctuation inside of parens and quotations. It irks computer programmers, I guess, but people used to do this for aesthetic reasons for books. | | |
| ▲ | frizlab 7 months ago | parent [-] | | Yup. That’s why I put it inside the quotes. | | |

I wouldn't go so far with the 'should'. The recommendation only really applies when you are typesetting a book (specifically a novel) or something like that. Text on the web is still so ugly, that isolated demands for aesthetics seem a bit misguided. |
