 This syntax is also accepted by the @code{declare}
 builtin.  Individual array elements may be assigned to using the

 Any element of an array may be referenced using
-@code{$@{name[}@var{subscript}@code{]@}}.
+@code{$@{@var{name}[@var{subscript}]@}}.
 The braces are required to avoid
 conflicts with the shell's filename expansion operators.  If the
 @var{subscript} is @samp{@@} or @samp{*}, the word expands to all members
 of the array @var{name}.  These subscripts differ only when the word
 appears within double quotes.
 If the word is double-quoted,
-@code{$@{name[*]@}} expands to a single word with
+@code{$@{@var{name}[*]@}} expands to a single word with
 the value of each array member separated by the first character of the
-@env{IFS} variable, and @code{$@{name[@@]@}} expands each element of
+@env{IFS} variable, and @code{$@{@var{name}[@@]@}} expands each element of
 @var{name} to a separate word.  When there are no array members,
-@code{$@{name[@@]@}} expands to nothing.
+@code{$@{@var{name}[@@]@}} expands to nothing.
 If the double-quoted expansion occurs within a word, the expansion of
 the first parameter is joined with the beginning part of the original
 word, and the expansion of the last parameter is joined with the last
 part of the original word.
 This is analogous to the
 expansion of the special parameters @samp{@@} and @samp{*}. 
-@code{$@{#name[}@var{subscript}@code{]@}} expands to the length of
-@code{$@{name[}@var{subscript}@code{]@}}.
+@code{$@{#@var{name}[@var{subscript}]@}} expands to the length of
+@code{$@{@var{name}[@var{subscript}]@}}.
 If @var{subscript} is @samp{@@} or
