code formatting shouldn't be used for emphasis, it wreaks havoc with screen readers and other accessibility devices.

But you're right that "to narrow one's eyes" more strongly implies doubt. I guess there's not an easy word to encompass "squinting with doubt", or "tensely narrowing one's eyes", and those phrases sound odd. To "furrow one's brow" has both implications, but doesn't mention the eyes being half closed. | |
