+<h2>NOTES</h2>
+
 GRASS defines a vector area as composite entity consisting of a set of
 closed boundaries and a centroid. The centroids must contain a
 category number
 (see <em><a href="v.centroids.html">v.centroids</a></em>), this number
 is linked to area attributes and database links.
-
+<P>
 Multiple attributes may be linked to a single vector entity through
 numbered fields referred to as layers. Refer
 to <em><a href="v.category.html">v.category</a></em> for more details.
