Although the manual was correct as it was, it could be written to avoid the need for the quotes, and this should help avoid confusion like the problem Drew reported. I went through the Emacs, Elisp, and Elisp intro manuals looking for this sort of problem and fixed the ones that I found in commit ef7dbdf5873bf0a1f3f0e64e5d019e74d5b15b9e. The sentence Drew mentioned now looks like this:

Emacs handles three different conventions for how to separate lines in a file: newline (Unix), carriage-return linefeed (DOS), and just carriage-return (Mac).

which avoids the quoting issue entirely.
