The following character encoding names have been observed. The names
are shown in lowercase, even though they were not always in lowercase
in the file. Alternative names for the same encoding are, when known,
-listed together. For each encoding, the @code[character_code} values
+listed together. For each encoding, the @code{character_code} values
that they were observed paired with are also listed. First, the
following are strictly single-byte, ASCII-compatible encodings:
