Here's a patch that implements the formatting changes to the description of the remote protocol packets we've been discussing on gdb@. This uses @code for the packet templates, even though in my last message there I said I thought @samp was more appropriate; @code is what I've got right now, and I didn't want to go and change everything twice if the conclusion was that @code was better. But you can see what was done. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2005-11-15 Jim Blandy * gdb.texinfo (Packets): Use @code for packet contents. Drop summaries from packet @item lines; the same information appears immediately below in the description. Delete paragraph breaks after packet @item commands, so that the description appears directly to the right of the packet prototype in the printed manual, if it fits. Place spaces in packet prototypes between @vars and non-@var letters, and explain that they're just for formatting. Use @dots{} instead of '...'.
