I usually only use the first format when most or all of the description
cannot
be read w/o scrolling. That usually only happens when there's stuff in both
the middle two fields. If I have an optional depends w/o anything in the
middle field(s), I generally put it on one line, 'cause it looks better,
IMHO.
