To my > mind, that just makes the line longer. I don't need the "* " there (as mentioned earlier I just usually put it there out of habit). Not sure what you mean by "." since there's no such char in my sample above, AFAICT. As for the " (func)" I only put it there if there's room. Otherwise I use the longer form: * filenames: Short description Explanation. * file1 (func1): desc1. (func2): desc2. * file2 (func3): desc3. where "filenames" is a summary of the files. I don't have a precise rule for what this should look like because creativity is sometimes needed to make the whole thing fit on a single line. Stefan
