Details from man-pages(7) that are used:

    Formatting conventions for manual pages describing functions

        ...
        Variable names should, like argument names, be specified in italics.

=head1 NAME
ASN1_STRING_new, ASN1_STRING_type_new, ASN1_STRING_free -
ASN1_STRING allocation functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/asn1.h>
ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_new(void);
ASN1_STRING * ASN1_STRING_type_new(int type);
void ASN1_STRING_free(ASN1_STRING *a);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
ASN1_STRING_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure. Its type
is undefined.
ASN1_STRING_type_new() returns an allocated B<ASN1_STRING> structure of
type I<type>.
ASN1_STRING_free() frees up I<a>.
If I<a> is NULL nothing is done.
=head1 NOTES
Other string types call the B<ASN1_STRING> functions. For example
ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new() calls ASN1_STRING_type(V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING).
=head1 RETURN VALUES
ASN1_STRING_new() and ASN1_STRING_type_new() return a valid
B<ASN1_STRING> structure or NULL if an error occurred.
ASN1_STRING_free() does not return a value.
=head1 SEE ALSO
