Right, hence my suggestion just to use @code always. To avoid the subtleties. @code is meant for code. The strings in the defcustom are code and text in a Custom buffer or menu is not. If you just look at "Alphabetical", there does not seem to be too much of a difference. But your defcustom could contain, say, :tag "\\1\\" In that case, the code in the defcustom gets referred to as @code{"\\1\\"} and what appears in the menu is @samp{\1\}. The first is the string as it needs to be written in a program, the second the actual string as it appears in the menu and the two are not the same. Sincerely, Luc.
