It is not really what was recommended.  A class would be cleaner and I
agree.  However, it is not possible to do that with regular Texinfo.

Maybe the best would be to use gdt for the category followed by the :
only, and use directly html for the remaining, which would have the
added advantage of simplifying the code, as we would not need to have
the whole Texinfo expression literally.  it is already done like that
in one case anyway.
