Re: Toc: titles and quotes

Owen, you top posting fiend... I get so excited when I see top posting, 

that if I were a puppy I would jump onto your lap and lick your face. As 

a human, however, it just aint going to happen :-)

It would never have occurred to me to quote them either. Layers Dialog 

without quotes sounds fine to this guy from the USA -- which means that 

I am a native speaker, not that I am well spoken.

Sorry for the top posting, but IMO, NO inverted commas should be used.

Layers dialog is acceptable english usage as is Channels and Paths
dialog.

I have never heard of the "rule" that Julien refers to, I have never
heard of rules, only usage.

Hi,

IMO, we must use quotes when there is a plural, because, in good
English, the plural is not possible in Layers Dialog; it must be Layer
Dialog or "Layers" dialog ...
Colormap Dialog is right.

Julien

I just had a look at the Table of Contents and noticed that some
dialog names are quoted, some are not, e.g.

	2.1. Layers Dialog
	2.2. â€œChannelsâ€? Dialog
	2.3. â€œPathsâ€? Dialog
	2.4. Colormap Dialog
	etc.

These quotes seem to be new. Obviously we shouldn't mix quoted and
not
quoted dialog names.
I don't know what's better/correct: with or without quotes?
