You can remove one space between "-" and "A" (+ - As with).

@kaikreuzer : JUst one little question: why the compat layer is not a bundle installed by default ?

[kaikreuzer]

Why should it? If someone does not use any 1.x add-ons there is no need for it.
And once an add-on is added to the distro (see step 6 on https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/blob/master/docs/sources/features/compatibilitylayer.md), the compat layer is automatically installed when installing the add-on (so the user does not have to do that).

[lolodomo]

If automatic, why mentioning to do it manually ?

[kaikreuzer]

Because this is the documentation for developers on "How to use openHAB 1.x Add-ons that are not part of the distribution"

@lolodomo If you install addons / bundles using features / extension management, the compat layer will be installed if necessary. As this dependencies are defined.
If you install bundles using the addons directory / file deployment, you have to ensure yourself that dependencies will be installed.

That is clearer with this last explanation.
Thank you.
