I saw the linkblue text and found that difficult to read. I know I can
turn it off, and it looks ok that way, but I wouldn't put something like
that on my website (and what do people see who have instructed their
browsers to not underline links?).

You want a space after each description? Should the descriptions be
considered to be paragraphs? (and use <p>...)

"Make the lines shorter"??? llizard, if you want shorter lines you
should not use such a wide window.


font-size: 10pt;

Hmmm... From what I've heard, that is a Bad Idea.


Also, there are different types of documents in the list, some are FAQs,
some are tutorials, some are something else. Maybe split it up into more
than one list and add some headers to help people find what they're
looking for?
