Having spent some time looking at the documentation while developing the system to build the books, I found that we actually have a set of conventions on how things are displayed. This is part of every document, under the title "Typographic Conventions", right near the beginning of the book. So this proposal seems rather extreme to me as it could have a major impact on all our documents. Just my opinion. Gil

While working on the documentation I learned the following elements being typeset in monotype font, however all are using the boldest version of the font which in the case of rexxpg makes some elements stand out far too strong.

So the question would be whether it was possible to format the monotype elements like "code" to not be as bold (maybe semi-bold) or alternatively, not being bold at all but italicized instead?

These elements are typeset the same way (monotype and in the boldest possible font, it seems):

  * code
  * computeroutput
  * filename
  * literal

Just look up the rexxpg book where the boldness communicates an importness above all other text and is distracting (like in the table of context).

What do you think?
