[PATCH v2 2/2] doc: Use @code rather than @var for options


From: David Edmondson
Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] doc: Use @code rather than @var for options
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2020 10:34:58 +0000

Texinfo defines @var for metasyntactic variables and such terms are
shown in upper-case or italics in the output of makeinfo. When
considering an option to a command, such as "-n", upper-casing is
undesirable as it may confuse the reader or be in conflict with the
equivalent upper-case option.

Replace the use of @var for options with @code to avoid this.
