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,
