-'''BSAVE Image''' (or '''BSAVED Image''', '''BSAVE graphics''', '''BSV''', '''BLOAD format''', etc.) is a loosely-defined family of raster and character-based graphics file formats, based on the behavior of the <code>BSAVE</code> and <code>BLOAD</code> commands in QuickBASIC and certain other implementations of the [[BASIC]] programming language.
+'''BSAVE Image''' (or '''BSAVED Image''', '''BSAVE graphics''', '''BSV''', '''BLOAD format''', etc.) is a loosely-defined family of raster and character-based graphics file formats, based on the behavior of the <code>BSAVE</code> and <code>BLOAD</code> commands in QuickBASIC and certain other implementations of the [[BASIC]] programming language. This article is mainly about the formats used by DOS/PC software.
 The file consists of a header, followed by a raw dump of video memory (or something approximating that). The Wikipedia article seems to be the best source of information about it.

 BSAVE Image files are not very portable. There are many varieties of them, and no reliable way to distinguish all of them.
-== Format ==
+== Format details ==
 BSAVE Image files (of the PC variety) begin with the byte <code>0xFD</code>. They may have a 7-byte header, or an 11-byte header that includes the width (measured in bits, not pixels) and height.
-After the image data, there is usually a <code>0x1A</code> (Ctrl+Z) byte. It is usually the last byte in the file, but sometimes there is extra data or padding after it.
+After the image data, there might or might not be a <code>0x1A</code> (Ctrl+Z) byte, and/or extra data or padding.
