What about removing the paragraph
For downward compatibility, the function alias named
<function>mysql_listtables</function> can be used. This is
deprecated however and is not recommended.
and changing the note to
The function <function>mysql_list_tables</function> and its alias
<function>mysql_listtables</function>, which can be used for
downward compatibility, are deprecated. [...]
or
The function <function>mysql_list_tables</function> is deprecated.
So is <function>mysql_listtables</function>, which is an alias and
can be used for downward compatibility. [...]
