Certainly no offense was taken here. I'm thankful for people like you
who are looking out for understandability.

With my documentation writer hat on, I can say that I wrote my page that
way out of convenience (rather hastily I might add :) and in the absence
of official style guidelines it was easiest to copy directly from the
screen. Perhaps we can adopt some of the guidelines suggested downthread
by Karsten that will make things more clear. In the meantime I'll work
on generalizing the centpkg page.
