+These attributes are distinct from the file attributes in the filesystem and are
+only kept in memory during package builds. A single file may have an arbitrary
+number of attributes, and a single attribute may be assigned to an arbitrary
+number of files.
+
+A valid file attribute called _NAME_ is introduced with an *rpm-macrofile*(5),
+_NAME.attr_, dropped into the *%{\_fileattrsdir}* directory, that defines at
+least one of the following macros:
+
+```
+%__NAME_path
+%__NAME_magic
+%__NAME_exclude_path
+%__NAME_exclude_magic

Yep, I was on the fence wrt using bullet lists in all these places (as you say, there are multiple). They just seemed too verbose and ugly in comparison to a single code block, as you then have to escape the special chars, like in the SYNOPSIS basically.

That said, the additional formatting and placeholders does make sense (since we already use it in SYNOPSIS), and allows for proper version accounting, too. So, I'll convert them after all, I guess :smile:
