Hi.
At @item markers
, in @subsection Buffer Internals
, in @section Object Internals
, in internals.texi
, in lispref manual, the manual says,
This is actually a single marker, and successive elements in its marker
@code{chain} are the other markers referring to this buffer text.
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/doc/lispref/internals.texi#n2023
But I think @code{chain} should be markup-ed with @dfn, @emph, or quoted
with ` and '.
(Or "chain" is some kind of symbol defined in source files? I can't find
it.)
Thanks.

Indeed, @code doesn't seem right here. I would go with either
``quotes'' or no markup at all, like the 'next' entry further down that
page:
‘next’
A pointer to the next buffer, in the chain of all buffers,
including killed buffers. This chain is used only for allocation
and garbage collection, in order to collect killed buffers
properly.

No, it's just a metaphor.
Thanks,
