[Bug 53530] New: <Directory> docs don't explain when to use quotes

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53530

Priority: P2
Bug ID: 53530
Assignee: docs [at] httpd
Summary: <Directory> docs don't explain when to use quotes
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows XP
Reporter: sebb [at] apache
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Component: Documentation
Product: Apache httpd-2

The documentation for the <Directory> directive [1] refers to the
directory-path parameter.

Sometimes this is shown enclosed in double-quotes, and sometimes not, for no
apparent reason. I could not find any description of when quotes are required.

Also, if double-quotes are used, are they only special if present at the start
and end of the parameter? i.e. what escaping mechanism (if any) is needed to
allow double-quotes within a directory-path? [Unlikely, but valid on Unix]

One further nit: the syntax summary does not allow for the ~ RE introducer.
