Thanks for the great explanation of your proposed changes, Manuel. It all sounds good to me, though I don't see the advantage in a table format for the 'Short Descriptions'. Seems it is improper use of a table to me. According to the W3C, tables are supposed to be used to present data via HTML, and not for presentation of a list. However, I suppose it could be said that the 'Short Descriptions' is a list of data. But it would be a stretch. :-) -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 14:50:00 up 16 days, 14:23, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.06, 0.02 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
