Or you could put a relevant part of the output of "make help-full" instead:

    [...]
    Experimental targets:
      Full,              Abbr.
      perfbook-qq.pdf,   qq:   framed Quick Quizzes
      perfbook-nq.pdf,   nq:   no inline Quick Quizzes (chapterwise Answers)
    [...]
          ("1cqq", "1cnq", and so on disable 2-column mode.)

        Thanks, Akira
