You mean that "<b>bla</b>" is more friendly than
"B<bla>"? I don't see any
difference... It's already better that the ".B bla" of groff (which must
be
alone on a line), isn't it?
Oops, no, no. I didn't want to compare them. I just meant that any of
these approaches are outside the natural language, and it requires a
(very small) knowledge about markup tags. With this I wanted to justify
that the artificial msgids have a difficulty similar to this.
But if I had to redo the man module now, I'd go for docbook-like
tag intead
of pod notation. But I don't plan to change that for now...
I think this isn't necessary by now.
