I agree.

Yes, after this:

Please give each variable the @code markup.

Did you try to "make pdf"?  I suspect that this line is too long and
will overflow the right margin.  If it does, please break it into two
(and tell in the text that it is just one long line).

In this context, "runtest" is a name of a command, not a command line
typed at the keyboard.  So @command will be more appropriate than @kbd
here.

OK with these changes.

Thanks.
