[erlang-questions] [clarify] edoc type definition formatting

[Jay Nelson]

XHTML formatting works fine in the body of an @doc statement, but I  
can't seem to get any formatting commands recognized in the type  
definition section (the right hand side of the =) of an @type statement.

Looking at the generated XHTML I see now that the type is in an <h3>  
pair, and the definition itself is a separate <tt> section inside a  
<p> section.  What I need to do is get the <tt> replaced with  
something else, but I guess as a last resort I could add a stylesheet  
definition that changes the formatting of <tt>.

I doubt it matters, but I have my type definition in an @headerfile  
that gets included into my .erl file.
