In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). This commit fixes various places in the manual which were using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text) were intended, and covers those files where only one or two instances of these errors were made.

About QEMU
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.
|
|
|
|
QEMU can be used in several different ways. The most common is for
|
|
"system emulation", where it provides a virtual model of an
|
|
entire machine (CPU, memory and emulated devices) to run a guest OS.
|
|
In this mode the CPU may be fully emulated, or it may work with
|
|
a hypervisor such as KVM, Xen, Hax or Hypervisor.Framework to
|
|
allow the guest to run directly on the host CPU.
|
|
|
|
The second supported way to use QEMU is "user mode emulation",
|
|
where QEMU can launch processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.
|
|
In this mode the CPU is always emulated.
|
|
|
|
QEMU also provides a number of standalone commandline utilities,
|
|
such as the ``qemu-img`` disk image utility that allows you to create,
|
|
convert and modify disk images.
