Any ideas are welcome.
I suggest the following style for all commands: .B "Menu " .I menu-name .BI "[ " position " ]" .BI "[ " double-click-action " ]" .B Popup .I popup-name .BI "[ " position " ]" .BI "[ " default-action " ]" I.e. use .B for command, .I for mandatory parameters, .BI for optional. I also think, the spaces in braces are not really needed: .BI [ position ] This syntax is more readable in my opinion. I may do all these changes.
