-Site support requests must contain an example URL.
+Site support requests \f[B]must contain an example URL\f[].
An example URL is a URL you might want to download, like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc .
There should be an obvious video present.
On the other hand, if your UI for youtube\-dl fails in some way you
believe is related to youtube\-dl, by all means, go ahead and report the
bug.
