+                    The BitBake command line supports specifying different
+                    tasks for individual targets when you specify multiple
+                    targets.
+                    For example, suppose you had two targets (or recipes)
+                    <filename>myfirstrecipe</filename> and
+                    <filename>mysecondrecipe</filename> and you needed
+                    BitBake to run <filename>taskA</filename> for the first
+                    recipe and <filename>taskB</filename> for the second
+                    recipe:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
