Can you remind me why the .Dq Li is supposed to be better for inline commands?

As fair as I know we tend to use Dq Li instead of Nm make Cm build-like for inline commands. This is the style we follow in make.conf.5, src.conf.5, mqueufs.5. The Nm-based formatting is used in rc.conf.5 and find.1 on the other hand.

AFAICT, Dq Li is a more popular way to format commands.

The argument which is in favor of Dq Li is that we tend to make commands in Examples sections literal. We very rarely add Nm-like formatting to examples. Hence for the sake of consistency I'm proposing this change from Nm ... to Dq Li. 😄

What do you think about it, @bjk?

I see this is basically overcome by events, but thank you for the explanation/research -- your proposal seems reasonable to me.
