-      <p>Be careful, the following plugins must be installed to use the FAQ plugin :</p>
-      <ul>
-        <li>maven-plugin-plugin 1.7 (at least)</li>
-        <li>maven-xdoc-plugin 1.9.2 (at least)</li>
-      </ul>
+      <p>
+        There are no special requirements for using this plugin.
+        However, there were some font-size and layout bugs in early versions
+        of the maven-xdoc-plugin (versions <= 1.9.1), for best results
+        we recommend to use the FAQ plugin together with
+        maven-xdoc-plugin 1.9.2 (at least).
