-                <para>A number of special system targets are defined
-                that can be used to properly order boot-up of optional
-                services. These targets are generally not part of the
-                initial boot transaction, unless they are explicitly
-                pulled in by one of the implementing services. Note
-                specifically that these <emphasis>passive</emphasis>
-                target units are generally not pulled in by the
-                consumer of a service, but by the provider of the
-                service. This means: a consuming service should order
-                itself after these targets (as appropriate), but not
-                pull it in. A providing service should order itself
-                before these targets (as appropriate) and pull it in
-                (via a <varname>Wants=</varname> type
-                dependency).</para>
-
-                <para>Note that these passive units cannot be started
-                manually, i.e. <literal>systemctl start
-                time-sync.target</literal> will fail with an
-                error. They can only be pulled in by dependency. This
-                is enforced since they exist for ordering purposes
-                only and thus are not useful as only unit within a
-                transaction.</para>

+    <title>Special Passive System Units </title>
+
+    <para>A number of special system targets are defined that can be
+    used to properly order boot-up of optional services. These targets
+    are generally not part of the initial boot transaction, unless
+    they are explicitly pulled in by one of the implementing services.
+    Note specifically that these <emphasis>passive</emphasis> target
+    units are generally not pulled in by the consumer of a service,
+    but by the provider of the service. This means: a consuming
+    service should order itself after these targets (as appropriate),
+    but not pull it in. A providing service should order itself before
+    these targets (as appropriate) and pull it in (via a
+    <varname>Wants=</varname> type dependency).</para>
+
+    <para>Note that these passive units cannot be started manually,
+    i.e. <literal>systemctl start time-sync.target</literal> will fail
+    with an error. They can only be pulled in by dependency. This is
+    enforced since they exist for ordering purposes only and thus are
+    not useful as only unit within a transaction.</para>

+          that want to run before any encrypted block device is set

+          has been reached. Since the shutdown order is implicitly the
+          reverse start-up order between units, this target is
+          particularly useful to ensure that a service is shut down
+          only after all encrypted block devices are fully

+          at shutdown, a unit that is ordered after
+          <filename>network.target</filename> will be stopped before
+          the network -- to whatever level it might be set up then --
+          is shut down. It is hence useful when writing service files
+          that require network access on shutdown, which should order
+          themselves after this target, but not pull it in. Also see
