   * http://developer.apple.com/macosx/launchd.html

   This provider reads plists out of the following directories:
+  
   * /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
   * /System/Library/LaunchAgents
   * /Library/LaunchDaemons
   * /Library/LaunchAgents
 
-  and builds up a list of services based upon each plists \"Label\" entry.
+  ...and builds up a list of services based upon each plist's \"Label\" entry.
 
   This provider supports:
+  
   * ensure => running/stopped,
   * enable => true/false
   * status
   * restart
 
   Here is how the Puppet states correspond to launchd states:
-  * stopped => job unloaded
-  * started => job loaded
-  * enabled => 'Disable' removed from job plist file
-  * disabled => 'Disable' added to job plist file
+  
+  * stopped --- job unloaded
+  * started --- job loaded
+  * enabled --- 'Disable' removed from job plist file
+  * disabled --- 'Disable' added to job plist file
 
   Note that this allows you to do something launchctl can't do, which is to
   be in a state of \"stopped/enabled\ or \"running/disabled\".
