wp_strip_all_tags() Developer handbook: Description has something missing at the end.

[krupalpanchal]

It looks like there is something missing at the end of the Description. It should be completing the sentence with the output of wp_strip_all_tags.

Thanks for the report! There are actually two issues at play here.

The first issue is that what is rendered as a curly double-quote should actually be two non-curly single quotes (to denote an empty string). That unfortunate character conversion should be handled by the theme.

The second issue is that even though it looks like there is text missing at the end, there isn't; the inline documentation for wp_strip_all_tags() ​does not have a period at the end of the sentence. This makes it seem as if text has been omitted. (Additionally, for clarity, the documentation should explicitly say that it returns an empty string.)

For the core change, I would recommend changing

* will return 'something'. wp_strip_all_tags will return ''

to

* will return 'something'. wp_strip_all_tags will return an empty string.

I'll file this second issue on core.trac.

The core ticket has been created as ​core#61759.

Fixed in ​wporg-developer/2117bef:

Formatting: Prevent double single-quotes from being rendered as a curly double-quote.

Double single-quotes always means an empty string.

Props krupalpanchal, coffee2code.
Fixes #6510.
