There was no keyword like <FORMAT>:formats in the previous bsd.tex.mk and neither there were any checks on the validity of the keywords. :v

I think the descriptions are still a bit confusing and I need some help describing it more profoundly.

In the file there is a description section formats and listing some tex formats which somehow uses the text like `formats:` and some formats but that colon is to list the separate formats not something like formats:<ARGS>. In addition to that there is in fact a keyword formats which also has a valid ARGS like test|build|run|extract|lib to mean the dependency on print/tex-formats rather than individual formats. In case it's required to have a dep on those listed formats the keyword of the name of the format should be used.

I think I have been able to describe it properly but in case not feel free to advise if by anyhow I can improve the descriptions in the file.

Kind regards,
