You should add "and" before the last item in the list. > <para>If you're installing <application>Poppler</application> to support > - <xref linkend="kdegraphics"/>, you will need to have <xref linkend="qt"/> > + <xref linkend="kdegraphics"/>, then you will need to have <xref > linkend="qt"/> > installed so that the <filename > class='libraryfile'>libpoppler-qt</filename> > library is built.</para> I remember writing that sentence. According to my training, in technical writing if you can avoid using a conjunctive adverb, in this case "then", you should avoid using it. This keeps the document from being deemed "wordy". Notice in the sentence above, I could have added "then", right before "you should avoid using it", as it would be used for the identical purpose. It doesn't really matter, because either way it is technically correct, I just tend to think in a technical document, less is better. :-) -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.25] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 16:49:01 up 16 days, 5:17, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.06 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
