I doubt it is worth the trouble to try to do this. Can you think of a reason why any real document would need @verb inside @code? I can't. No. I was just wondering whether it was actually supposed to work or not. I can think of a real document where one would have wanted to use it inside @defvar, but after the changes you propose, that will no longer be necessary either. Sincerely, Luc.
