Hi Peter, If you're serious about doing the amendments in the "most proper way", you can check out the FreeBSD Documentation Primer, here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/index.html That will show you how to check out the sources for the FreeBSD documentation, and you can make your changes and see how they look, then submit a patch. Of course, that's a lot of work, and we don't expect that out of everyone! Feel free to just write up some text about how you think it should look, and submit a PR with it --- we can take care of the markup if you're not feeling up to it. Thanks, Ben Kaduk
