 file style guide
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 This file specifies the preferred style for manual pages in the
 .Fx
 source tree.
 .Ss Code Examples
 .Bl -dash -width ""
 .It
 Use literal formatting for examples and literal shell commands, e.g.:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 Then run
 \&.Ql make install clean .
 .Ed
 .Pp
 which renders as:
 .Bd -filled -offset indent
 Then run
 .Ql make install clean .
 .Ed
 .Pp
 The incorrect way would be to use macros like
 .Sy \&Nm
 to stylize the command invocation:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 Then run
 \&.Ql Nm make Cm install Cm clean .
 .Ed
 .Pp
 which renders as:
 .Bd -filled -offset indent
 Then run
 .Ql Nm make Cm install Cm clean .
 .Ed
 .It
 The
 .Sy \&Ql
 macro is the preferred macro for formatting literal inline fragments.
 Historically,
 .Sy \&Dq \&Li
 was the preferred way before the deprecation of
 .Sy \&Li .
 .El
 .Ss EXAMPLES Section
 .Bl -dash -width ""
 .It
 Format the
 .Sx EXAMPLES
 section in the following way:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 \&.Bl -tag -width 0n
 \&.It Sy Example 1\\&: No Doing Something
 \&.Pp
 The following command does something.
 \&.Bd -literal -offset 2n
 \&.Li # Ic make -VLEGAL
 \&.Ed
 \&.It Sy Example 2\\&: No Doing Something Different
 \&.Pp
 The following command does something different.
 \&.Bd -literal -offset 2n
 \&.Li # Ic bectl list
 \&.Ed
 \&.Pp
 It is good to know this command.
 \&.El
 .Ed
 .Pp
 which renders as:
 .Bd -filled -offset indent
 .Bl -tag -width 0n
 .It Sy Example 1\&: No Doing Something
 .Pp
 The following command does something.
 .Bd -literal -offset 2n
 .Li # Ic make -VLEGAL
 .Ed
 .It Sy Example 2\&: No Doing Something Different
 .Pp
 The following command does something different.
 .Bd -literal -offset 2n
 .Li # Ic bectl list
 .Ed
 .Pp
 It is good to know this command.
 .El
 .Ed
 .El
+.Ss Lists
+.Bl -dash -width ""
+.It
+The
+.Fl width
+argument to the
+.Sy \&.Bl
+macro should match the length of the longest item in the list, e.g.:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+\&.Bl -tag -width "-a address"
+\&.It Fl a Ar address
+Set the address.
+\&.It Fl v
+Print the version.
+\&.El
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In case the longest item is too long and hurts readability,
+the recommendation is to set
+the
+.Fl width
+argument
+to
+.Ql indent ,
+e.g.:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+\&.Bl -tag -width "indent"
+\&.It Cm build
+Build the port.
+\&.It Cm install
+Install the port.
+\&.It Fl install-missing-packages
+Install the missing packages.
+\&.El
+.Ed
+.El
 .Ss Synopsis Formatting
 .Bl -dash -width ""
 .It
 Do not put whitespace between alternative parameters separated with a pipe
 .Pq Dq | ,
 e.g.:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 \&.Cm compression Cm on Ns | Ns Cm off
 \&.Cm install Fl -all Ns | Ns Ar portname Ar ...
 .Ed
 .Pp
 which in the SYNOPSIS section is rendered as:
 .Bd -unfilled -offset indent
 .Cm compression Cm on Ns | Ns Cm off
 .Cm install Fl -all Ns | Ns Ar portname Ar ...
 .Ed
 .It
 Use
 .Sy \&Cm
 to stylize characters that are command modifiers
 .Po e.g.,
 .Dq \&, ,
 .Dq @
 or
 .Dq "="
 .Pc .
 For example:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 \&.Sm off
 \&.Fl -meet Cm = Ar who Oo Cm \&, Ar who " " Ar "..." Oc Cm @ Ar where
 \&.Sm on
 .Ed
 .Pp
 which renders as:
 .Bd -filled -offset indent
 .Sm off
 .Fl -meet Cm = Ar who Oo Cm \&, Ar who " " Ar "..." Oc Cm @ Ar where
 .Sm on
 .Ed
 .Pp
 instead of:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 \&.Sm off
 \&.Fl -meet No = Ar who Oo , Ar who " " Ar "..." Oc @ Ar where
 \&.Sm on
 .Ed
 .Pp
 which would render as:
 .Bd -filled -offset indent
 .Sm off
 .Fl -meet No = Ar who Oo , Ar who " " Ar "..." Oc @ Ar where
 .Sm on
 .Ed
 .Pp
 It is important to realize that in the correct example,
 .Dq \&, ,
 .Dq @
 and
 .Dq =
 are stylized with
 .Sy \&Cm .
 At the same time, the square brackets
 .Pq Dq "[]"
 are not stylized as they do not belong to the syntax of the
 .Fl -meet
 flag.
 .El
 .Ss Quoting
 .Bl -dash -width ""
 .It
 Use the
 .Sy \&Dq
 .Pq Do Dc
 macro
 for quoting.
 Use the
 .Sy \&Sq
 .Pq So Sc
 macro for quoting inside quotes.
 The use of the
 .Sy \&Qq
 .Pq Qo Qc
 macro is usually not necessary.
 .El
 .Ss Variables
 .Bl -dash -width ""
 .It
 Use
 .Sy \&Va
 instead of
 .Sy \&Dv
 for
 .Xr sysctl 8
 variables like
 .Va kdb.enter.panic .
 .It
 Use the angle brackets
 .Sy \&Aq
 .Pq Dq "<>"
 macro
 for arguments
 .Pq Sy \&Ar
 when they are mixed with similarly stylized macros like
 .Sy \&Pa
 or
 .Sy \&Va ,
 e.g.:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 \&.Va critical_filesystems_ Ns Aq Ar type
 .Ed
 .Pp
 which renders as:
 .Bd -filled -offset indent
 .Va critical_filesystems_ Ns Aq Ar type
 .Ed
 .Pp
 instead of:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 \&.Va critical_filesystems_ Ns Ar type
 .Ed
 .Pp
 that would be rendered as:
 .Bd -filled -offset indent
 .Va critical_filesystems_ Ns Ar type
 .Ed
 .El
