I would suggest to rewrite this slightly, to make it clearer.  The () sentence
should be incorporated as a normal sentence.

So the (text/plain) result will be something like:

  param will be one of network, code or metric.  The netmask is contained
  as /nnn in the route_ipv6_network_{n}, unlike IPv4 where it is passed in
  a separate environment variable.

Or maybe even (why do we highlight IPv4 differences so much?):

  param will be one of network, code or metric.  The netmask is
  not provided and is preserved as /nnn in the IPv6 range in
  route_ipv6_network_{n}.

(These examples needs the proper :code:`value` and ``value`` highlighting,
removed here for clarity)
