Hi,
In doc/grep.texi some environment variables are marked with
@code{} instead of @env{}. Attached patch fixes this.
There are some other env vars that still use @code{}, but
they refer to a "category" -- I don't quite know whether
these should be marked differently too, so I have left
them alone.
