We're developing software with various optional modules which users can
purchase to increase the functionality and scope of the product. We've been
told from above that the manual must cover all of the options, regardless of
whether the user has purchased them or not. Yuck!

So I'm interested in knowing what methods people have used to distinguish
optional components in the text to users. I'm thinking it should be
something that is easily recognizable so they can learn it once and then
skip those sections that might not apply to them.

thanks!
