Subject: Formatting of packet descriptions in GDB manual
Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2005 00:25:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8f2776cb0511111624h4d646cd9i1f86824c5edc613f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The way gdb.texinfo describes packet formats is pretty wierd. The
.texinfo says stuff like:
@table @r
...
@item @code{q}@code{ThreadExtraInfo}@code{,}@var{id} --- extra thread info
which is rendered in .info files as:
`q'`ThreadExtraInfo'`,'ID -- extra thread info
Those quotes aren't helping anything at all. The rendering in .pdf
files is fine.
I'd much rather see:
@table @r
...
@item @code{qThreadExtraInfo,@var{id}} --- extra thread info
which renders in .info as:
`qThreadExtraInfo,ID' -- extra thread info
and renders the same in .pdf.
What do folks think?
