There's also this sort of formatting:

  ps -o etimes     - elapsed seconds with a heading
  ps -o etimes=    - elapsed seconds without a heading

Not sure if there is a consistent style to follow. Its normally a good 
intermission for a doc read when things don't immediately jump out with 
the right answer straight away, that's no excuse for inconsistency 
either, I know.
