Actually, looking closer, the information seems to be lost entirely.
Asciidoc renders this to <literal> in the XML, but docbook seems to
throw it away when converting to a manpage. In theory it's possible to
apply our own xsl style to turn this into something else, and I think
that is a better solution than just trying to fix this one spot.
When I check the asciidoc output for manpages (which I rarely do), I often
render it to Postscript to see the typesetting.  I guess not many people
consider manpages are for printing anymore but are solely for monospaced
terminal consumption these days.
How do you render it? From the XML, or from the roff? Because if I am
reading it right (which it is entirely possible that I am not), the
information is lost in the roff version. And that is the version I would
expect people to be looking at (via man -Tps, or just plain man).
