Yes, that works. thanks:

\marginnote{To push \emph{non-trunk} branches to you project, use a
\emph{complete} bzr-style URL that specifies the team, the project and the
branch: \userinput{lp:\textasciitilde<team>/<project>/branch}. For example,
I might want to push an experimental branch to blackbird as follows:
\userinput{bzr push
lp:\textasciitilde{}blackbird-team/blackbird/experimental}}
For the text in angle brackets, you might try out the \variable macro.

   lp:\textasciitilde\variable{team}/\variable{project}/branch

I don't think it's mentioned in the style guide as it was a
last-minute addition I included when I was editing some text in the
desktop manual.  (I think the command is only used once in the other
manual, actually.)

Nice!

Does that complicate translations in the sense that translators will *also* need to know not to touch 'team' inside \variable{team}?

Cheers,
Kyle
