Hi Helge,

Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue:    I<(isalpha(c)\\ || \\ isdigit(c))> → B<(isalpha(>I<c>B<) || isdigit(>I<c>B<))>
The current formatting is correct.  This is documented in man-pages(7):

     Expressions, if not written on a separate indented line, should be
     specified in italics.  Again, the use of nonbreaking spaces may be
     appropriate if the expression is inlined with normal text.


Cheers,
Alex
