Hi Ingo and Branden,
Since I'm not 100% convinced by any of the ways to format structure
definitions in SYNOPSIS, I'm going to go for the status quo. Since
there weren't any structure definitions (at least that I know of) in
SYNOPSIS before my introduction, I'll go for what was used in
DESCRIPTIONs. That is embedding them in EX/EE, which uses monospace,
which allows me to align perfectly with spaces in any output device.
I hope nobody will consider this very harmful.
Still, I'm interested in your discussion about the best way to show
structured data like this, and the possible
portability/readability/accessibility issues of each alternative, so
this is just a temporary solution until we agree on something better (if
it exists).
Cheers,
Alex
