doc: wrap man pages after fixing quoting

8781:385a2d94885e

SYNTAX
------

An ignore file is a plain text file consisting of a list of patterns,
with one pattern per line. Empty lines are skipped. The "`#`" character
is treated as a comment character, and the "`\`" character is treated as
an escape character.

Mercurial supports several pattern syntaxes. The default syntax used
is Python/Perl-style regular expressions.

To change the syntax used, use a line of the following form:

The chosen syntax stays in effect when parsing all patterns that
follow, until another syntax is selected.

Neither glob nor regexp patterns are rooted. A glob-syntax pattern of
the form "`*.c`" will match a file ending in "`.c`" in any directory, and
a regexp pattern of the form "`\.c$`" will do the same. To root a regexp
pattern, start it with "`^`".
