Well, I haven't spent much time on this: with Emacs, it's only a matter
of doing M-Q on odd-looking paragraphs.  Moreover, it's easier to read
short and well formatted lines, for both Info readers and docs editors.

You are right.  I wonder if the same rules should apply to French
translations; in French, I feel well introducing many examples with a
colon.  I should check good French style somewhere; Jean-Charles, what
