I suggest nothing extra at all. Standard presentation for subheadings is
to use a smaller font than the main headings, and Yelp already does
this. (Actually, since the headings and subheadings are also bold and
differently colored, they could both easily use even smaller fonts than
they currently do.)

Since I reported the bug, the formatting has been changed so that the
subheadings are numbered: for example "7.1. Install/uninstall .deb
files", "7.2 Convert .rpm files to .deb files", "7.3. Install tarballs",
and "7.4. Install .run packages". Numbering makes sense for paper books,
which are often read sequentially, and have a single nested table of
contents and cross-references to numbered sections instead of
hyperlinks. Numbering does not make sense for help pages, which use
hyperlinks instead and are designed around random access. And it
especially doesn't make sense to have sections numbered "7.1", "7.2",
etc when there is, correctly, no section numbered "7". Please remove the
subheading numbering.

** Summary changed:

- All subheadings begin with ". " (a period and a space)
+ All subheadings begin with subsection numbers

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
- 
  Ubuntu Gutsy, all updates installed
  
- All subheadings currently begin with ". ", which is ugly.
+ All subheadings currently begin with subsection numbers, which is
+ unnecessary, and doesn't make sense since the sections themselves aren't
+ numbered.
  
  For example, in the "Installing a single package file" page, there are
- ". Install/uninstall .deb files", ". Convert .rpm files to .deb files",
- ". Install tarballs", and ". Install .run packages" subheadings.
+ "7.1. Install/uninstall .deb files", "7.2. Convert .rpm files to .deb
+ files", "7.3. Install tarballs", and "7.4. Install .run packages"
+ subheadings.
