But, of course, that could be solved other ways (by throwing that field into a minibox). The more important reason is that I don't believe such block-level formatting belongs in that type of field. The reason is that this data could be repurposed and used in any number of ways, and this kind of repurposing will be much simpler if the formatting is kept very simple. For example, imagine that an apache configuration tool wanted to display this information. Or what about the directive quick-reference? It makes it much harder to do stuff like this when there is complex formatting in those fields. Really, the <default> shouldn't contain anything at all other than exactly what you need to put in the config file to get the default behavior. In cases like ErrorLog where the default is not so simple, we should probably just eliminate the field and discuss it in the text.
