The title says it. See for example the docs for `atomics_to_string/2`. I’d assume that the original text says `atomics_to_string(List, '', String)` but the source of the page has the following snippet:

```html
Equivalent to <code>atomics_to_string(List,” , 
String)</code>.

```

Note that the line break is in the source, too. Maybe related?

Another place with identical problem is the docs for `atomic_list_concat/2`.

I am really sorry that I don’t have the time to investigate on my own, so I will just report it at the moment.

No. Smart quoting was applied anywhere. Now prevented this in `<code>`. Bit of a hack …
