Hello Nico,

The Quick Guide and the KQuick Guide purposely use short descriptions, 
however, in some places it is very short. In the case you mention it would be 
great if you added the formats information. Just keep it short.

Where possible write it yourself, small copy and paste is find but not total 
and verbatim copy. The main reason is the licensing.

Hope this helps.
