The problem with these macros is that they rely on being able to
center the note label. That doesn't play well with modern HTML,
not anyway without coomplications like CSS. This use was just a cute
trick, not adding enough value to be kept.
Two steps: First, expand tabs to 8 spaces in code and structure
listings. Second, make the .Ds used to wrap code listings switch to
constant-width font (CW) rather than numeric font position 1, which
maps to R on most systems.
It is possible some archaic systems won't know what CW is, but the
only risk is that code listings won't look quite right on troff
devices; the PostScript and DVI drivers definitely grok it, so those
important cases are OK.
The purpose of these changes is to get rid of presentation-level
markup so these pages will lift clean to DocBook.
