The documented syntax for most GCC options that take magic keywords is of the form @option{-ffoo=@var{magic}}, with the various literal values for @var{magic} listed in the option description. There are a number, though, that list the keyword choices in the syntax, but with two different markup conventions. This patch changes the ones that wrap the whole keyword list in @var, like -fvtable-verify, to use the same markup convention as the others, like -Wsuggest-attribute, which use the regular option/code font for the keywords but set off the syntactic delimiters "[", "|", and "]" in Roman font.. @var is supposed to be for metasyntactic variables and seems inappropriate for literal keywords, so I think it's less correct than the other convention.
Agreed, thanks for making this change! Gerald
