Sweeps like Branden's, to check consistency, were part and parcel of editing v7-v10 manuals. He found one worth doing that apparently hadn't occurred to me. I'm glad the error rate was low. . I have always disliked boldface in synopses. That's an artifact of the CAT phototypesetter, which had room for only one font family. After the demise of the CAT, I finally steeled myself to use a "literal font" called L, aka CW, in v10. With the help of lots of sed scripts and proofreading, font L took over in synopses, options, examples,and elsewhere as appropriate. It's a pity that happened after the Cambrian radiation, which left everybody using the obtrusive bold.
The font in See Also dates to the advent of the CAT. Curiously, the contrast with other cross references never caught my attention. Doug
