It occurred to me once away from the computer that it could just be the
characters `x' and `y' from font `z', but I suppose I could find the
"secret" by looking at the source code. For `main' under GNU/Linux, I
might as well just use `char**'. I've determined that the `_tmain'
function generated by MS Visual Studio also uses the `[]' syntax, and it's
not a good idea to fiddle with code generated by VS. However, for other
reasons, I'm quite likely to be removing all Windows code soon, so it's a
moot point.
The correct formatting of `char* argv[]' and similar constructions may be
on-topic for this mailing list, but it's probably not that important in
the larger scheme of things. I got rid of the warnings by taking the
brakets out of the address@hidden'. The visual result is the same, and I don't
know whether getting slanted braces will be possible inside address@hidden'.
I did think that it might be worthwhile trying to format this manual in
such a way that it could serve as a model for other Texinfo manuals that
document parsers. However, I doubt that there are going to be that many,
so it may not really be worth discussing in great detail.
Thanks,
Laurence
