The following reply was made to PR docs/36461; it has been noted by GNATS. From: swear@blarg.net (Gary W.

This is your call Gary, if you want it in italics just > say so and Keramida can commit his patch. I didn't know why italics was mentioned -- I never see it in manuals. But I just now read that ".Em" usually gives italics while I see underlined text from both ".Em" and ".Ar" (but bold text from ".Cm"). I notice that the nslookup(8) manual uses Ar right of "=", but then it is describing interactive commands (.It Ic port= Ns Ar value). My call is Giorgos' last effort except with "Ar" on the right side of the "=" like the rest of the operands have, plus "Ar" on the corresponding reference to "value" in the description. But I'll not complain if the committer wants it otherwise (as long as it has no spaces, of course).
