I just noticed that in https://seven.centos.org/2017/06/updated-centos-vagrant-images-available-v17...
line that reads about sync folders
config.vm.synced_folder “.”, “/vagrant”, type: “virtualbox”
uses the wrong symbol for strings (") and after copying into Vagrantfile causes a cryptic error message.
This is caused by Wordpress' typography "feature" that changes regular quotes into "smart quotes" everywhere, even in <code> elements. There's no Wordpress setting to disable that, as far as I know, but it seems doable via plugins. [1]
I remember we received complaints in the past about copy&paste of code examples being broken (in blog comments on seven.c.o). Since I only have "author" privileges in Wordpress, there's nothing I can do about it myself, but it's good you brought it up here. I think such typography features make less sense for technical blogs like ours than they do for humanistic contents.
Any thoughts from a seven.c.o admin?
Regards, Laurențiu
