[PATCH v2] Consistent variable name make less confusion


From: Cao jin
Subject: [PATCH v2] Consistent variable name make less confusion
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2017 15:49:41 +0800

When @node "call Function" is outputted in Info format, there are inconsistent
inconsistent variable names between example and description. @var is used to
indicate metasyntactic variables, and will change the case of the argument to
all uppercase in Info file. @code is more suitable in this case.
