       <p>
         Here, Zig is at least as convenient, if not more, than C. And, the type of "ptr"
-        is {#syntax#}*u8{#endsyntax#} <em>not</em> {#syntax#}?*u8{#endsyntax#}. The {#syntax#}orelse{#endsyntax#} keyword
+        is {#syntax#}[*]u8{#endsyntax#} <em>not</em> {#syntax#}?[*]u8{#endsyntax#}. The {#syntax#}orelse{#endsyntax#} keyword
                     unwrapped the optional type and therefore {#syntax#}ptr{#endsyntax#} is guaranteed to be non-null everywhere
         it is used in the function.
       </p>
