IMO, the list format for dependencies creates too much vertical whitespace. If you want to list each package, then a bullet to start each package would be OK, but the dependencies should be listed horizontally. For instance, look at almost any BLFS page at the Contents section: Installed Programs: c_rehash, openssl, and openssl_fips_fingerprint Installed Libraries: libcrypto.[so,a] and libssl.[so,a] Installed Directories: /etc/ssl and /usr/include/ssl For a longer list, a little more vertical whitespace between lines and/or bullets would be ok. -- bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
