Hey gang, I'm working on some kernel manpages (wait for everyone to come to after fainting...) and have a mdoc question. Currently we can mark up a variable name using Va. How do you mark up a type like 'struct intrhand'? In DocBook we had a <type> element IIRC, but the only reference to types in mdoc(7) is for Vt, which the page claims is only for Fortran. (As if Fortran is the only language to use typed variables or some other nonsense.) Is it actually ok to use Vt for this (and should we thus fix mdoc(7)) or do we have some other less than intuitive way for marking up types? :) /me really wishes we just wrote manpages in DocBook -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
