Thank you for finding the reference. Section 12.4.1 seems to mean that angle brackets combined with italic font would be an acceptable style, even though POSIX-1003.1-2024 itself uses this style only a few times, and not for command-line arguments. In any case, it would be one of the well-known conventions. I wonder if there is a software project that has already identified the best possible solution to this exact problem. -- Denis Ovsienko _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s
