Description
Adds the missing period to seven occurrences of
etcin prose, and a missing serial comma before two of them.Affects the
.htaccessconfiguration guide, the Express deployment guide, the Firefox 46 release notes,BaseAudioContext, attribute selectors,attr(), and the indexed collections guide. The last one also drops a trailing ellipsis, so "myArray[1], etc… The index of" becomes "myArray[1], etc. The index of".Instances inside code blocks are left alone.
Motivation
The writing style guide asks for the period explicitly:
The rest of the repository already follows it —
etc.appears about 1080 times, so these seven are outliers.
