For me, this is rendered as:

           For instance, if you have an image chain like:

               base.qcow2 E<lt>- snap1.qcow2 E<lt>- snap2.qcow2

           To enumerate information about each disk image in the above
chain, starting from top to base, do:

               @example
               qemu-img info --backing-chain snap2.qcow2
               @end example

That is,  the arrows aren't quite right and @example is included
literally. Please fix and resubmit.
