The inline font escapes, \fB...\fP, were much more readable because I
could still see, and check, the structure of the C source code.

Yeah, I think I agree.


tbl(1) could well be overkill here; tabs may do.


Since this example is easy, tbl(1) would be overkill here. In other examples with type names of very different lengths (int vs struct foo) tabs would not work nicely. And I want to keep a consistent way of formatting all types, so I think tbl(1) will win.

Regards,

Alex
