Re: [PATCH] Comment parsing: rendering kind field for inline command

Bikeshedding: ICR_Monospaced or ICR_FixedWidth instead of ICR_Typewriter, since it's 2012.

Less bikeshedding: although we're conditioned to think of code in a monospace font, there's not really a
/reason/ for that. (Smalltalk and AppleScript traditionally use non-monospaced fonts for code
listings...not that those are necessarily relevant for us.) In HTML this is the (often not observed)
difference between <code> and <tt> (like <em> and <i>). In Doxygen and other documentation systems, does
"\c" mean "code" or "fixed-width"?

(I'm inclined to think "code", and thus go with Doug's original listing, and emit <code> rather than <tt>.)
