Examples
In the following example, all the information in this second-level topic, including any third-level topics, applies only to Windows and MCP systems:
20.3. Using Operations Sentinel Console [Windows, MCP]
The next example shows a paragraph set apart from the rest of its block of text. The text following the label [Windows] applies only to Windows systems; the information before it applies to all types of computer systems (including Windows) because the block heading Minimum Configuration is unlabeled.
Minimum Configuration
A minimum configuration must include the following elements:
Systems to be managed

The following example shows a typical procedure in numbered steps.
The first step applies to all systems.
The second step, labeled [Windows], applies only to Windows systems.
The last step applies to all systems.
Use the following procedure to
