First of all, thank you for such a work, IMHO it is good and useful,
also for new users.

This is not an error report, but just a couple of suggestions.

1) Why don't you turn all the `vl' items inside the `hbox' in a 
Computer Modern Typewriter (fixed-width) font? They can be more 
readable and maybe even more recognizable, this way.
2) Another suggestion is about making another version of the pdf, with
more than one page, where the single categories are expanded: more
items can then be included, and (with the contribution of other users)
some descriptions can be written as well, both for the
category title and for the items themselves.
