Jakub Vrana a9b26c34e4 Display language constructs without parentheses
Side effect of this change is that include, require and return are now properly linked. They weren't because they don't live inside <refentry> so PhD doesn't know about them.

<para>
<function>virtual</function> is an Apache-specific function which
is similar to <literal>&lt;!--#include virtual...--&gt;</literal> in
<literal>mod_include</literal>.
It performs an Apache sub-request. It is useful for including
CGI scripts or <filename>.shtml</filename> files, or anything else that you would
parse through Apache. Note that for a CGI script, the script
must generate valid CGI headers. At the minimum that means it
must generate a <literal>Content-Type</literal> header.
</para>
<para>
To run the sub-request, all buffers are terminated and flushed to the
browser, pending headers are sent too.

This function may be used on PHP files. However, it is typically
better to use <link linkend="function.include"><literal>include</literal></link> or
<link linkend="function.require"><literal>require</literal></link> for PHP files.

The query string can be passed to the included file but
<varname>$_GET</varname> is copied from the parent script and only
<varname>$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']</varname> is filled with the passed
query string. The query string may only be passed when using Apache 2.
The requested file will not be listed in the Apache access log.

<para>
Environment variables set in the requested file are not visible to the
calling script.
