   When \var{o} is non-\NULL, returns a type object corresponding to
   the object type of object \var{o}. On failure, raises
   \exception{SystemError} and returns \NULL.  This is equivalent to
-  the Python expression \code{type(\var{o})}.
+  the Python expression \code{type(\var{o})}.\bifuncindex{type}
   This function increments the reference count of the return value.
   There's really no reason to use this function instead of the
   common expression \code{\var{o}->ob_type}, which returns a pointer
-  of type \code{PyTypeObject *}, except when the incremented reference
+  of type \ctype{PyTypeObject*}, except when the incremented reference
   count is needed.
