There is no consistency to the way we currently mark up keystrokes in the documentation. A quick glance will find many different styles: 1. CTRL+P 2. CTRL-P 3. ctrl-p 4. Ctrl-P Sometimes these are wrapped in a <literal>, but usually not. O'Reilly's style guide dictates the last entry, The only book I've got on my desk at the moment seems to switch back and forth between #2 and #4. I think we should standardize with #4 but #2 isn't bad either. In any case, I think that we should introduce some entities to keep everything nice and easy and also allow us to give the correct markup emphasis to keystrokes. &key.enter; &key.ctrl.p; &key.ctrl.alt.del; &key.esc.p; Does anyone have any objections to me adding these to freebsd.ent and using them throughout the Handbook? Other ideas? - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
