"as follows" reads naturally to me, as a native speaker (also checked: online dictionaries mention the phrase "as follows" without saying it's specific to my area -- northeast U.S. -- so I think it's right to use) >> +@samp{framebuffer_palette_addr} contains address of array of @samp{framebuffer_palette_num_colors} following structures: > > There seems to be some word missing here. "the following structures"? "as follows" would also work well if "structures" isn't an important word to keep? wait, it's like saying "array of 3 following structures", each of the same type. hmm. "@samp{framebuffer_palette_num_colors} structures as follows"? -Isaac
