Make doc/man7/ and doc/internal/man3/ conform with man-pages(7)
It's all in the details, from man-pages(7): Formatting conventions for manual pages describing functions ... Variable names should, like argument names, be specified in italics. ... Formatting conventions (general) ... Special macros, which are usually in uppercase, are in bold. Exception: don't boldface NULL. ...

A typical application of this algorithm is to derive keying material for an
-encryption algorithm from a password in the B<pass>, a salt in B<salt>,
+encryption algorithm from a password in the "pass", a salt in "salt",
and an iteration count.
-Increasing the B<iter> parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it
+Increasing the "iter" parameter slows down the algorithm which makes it
harder for an attacker to perform a brute force attack using a large number
of candidate passwords.
