st: SMCL not showing properly

Dear Statalist
I am writing a help file to a user written program in SMCL, using
Stata 11 in Windows XP. A piece of my help file is not showing
properly in the Stata Help Viewer. Below I reproduce the relevant
piece that is not showing properly:
{smcl}
{pstd}{cmd:fdfilter} applies the frequency domain filter of Corbae and
Ouliaris (2002,2006) to one or more time series in {it:varlist}.
Series can be stationary, or can have a unit root. It tends to produce
output similar to the Baxter-King (1999) filter, though without the
end-point issue (it estimates end-points directlty). The filtered
series and smoothed series are placed in new variables, specified with
the {cmd:stub()} option. The smoothed variables are identified by
"_sm" in their names. The {cmd:s()} and {cmd:e()} arguments can either
specify the minimum period of oscillation and maximum period of
oscillation of the desired component of the time series, with 2 <
{it:s} < {it:e} < infinity, or the desired frecuencies, with 0 <
{it:s} < {it:e} <= 1. {cmd:fdfilter} does not allow gaps within the
observations of a time series.
When I save this in a .hlp file (or .sthlp file) and display it in Stata, I get:
fdfilter applies the frequency domain filter of Corbae and Ouliaris
(2002,2006) to
one or more time series in varlist. Series can be stationary, or
can have a unit
root. It tends to produce output similar to the Baxter-King (1999
, though without
the end-point issue (it estimates end-points directlty). The
filtered series and
smoothed series are placed in new variables, specified with the
stub() option. The
smoothed variables are identified by "_sm" in their names. :s()} and e()
arguments can either specify the minimum period of oscillation and
maximum period
of oscillation of the desired component of the time series, with 2 < s < e <
infinity, or the desired frecuencies, with 0 < s < { 1. fdfilter
does not allow
gaps within the observations of a time series.
Notice the missing closing parenthesis after Baxter-King(1999, and the
missing e and the brace in the penultimate line.
I reproduced this error in another computer running Stata 11 on Windows 7.
Can anyone reproduce this error? Any ideas on what might be causing
it? I have been unable to find an error in the SMCL code.
Thank you.
