 .SH DESCRIPTION
 Character conversion between the multibyte representation and the wide
-character representation uses conversion state, of type \fImbstate_t\fP.
+character representation uses conversion state, of type
+.IR mbstate_t .
 Conversion of a string uses a finite-state machine; when it is interrupted
 after the complete conversion of a number of characters, it may need to
 save a state for processing the remaining characters.
