I would really like to > follow a `style' and just have not noticed a pattern as of yet. I prefer writing them on separate lines, to let future versions of the document minimise diffs. Thus, when a new para is added, the diff won't include stuff like: - <note><para>old stuff + <note><para>new stuff... + <para>old stuff... but, something like: <note> + <para>new stuff... <para>old stuff... But, this is just my personal preference. Not some truly important style rule that I'd try hard to force upon others :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
