Hi again Mark,
Is this a bug? I want @code{@@var} and @code{@@emph} to preserve
the monospacing in an @code{@@example} block, but they don't:
Well, whether it's the right choice is arguable, but they do
intentionally switch to normal slanted/italic. The theory is that
specifying metavariables and/or emphasizing text inside code examples
doesn't really make sense.
What is your example actually about? Would @kbd be appropriate? It
uses typewriter slanted (by default) inside @example.
By the way, what manual are you working on? I'm just curious.
New Texinfo bug reporters don't come along that often :).
Best,
Karl
