Better, changed it to

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@cindex subdirectory, channels
@subsection Package Modules in a Sub-directory

As a channel author, you may want to keep your channel modules in a
sub-directory.  If your modules are in the sub-directory @file{guix}, you must
add a meta-data file @file{.guix-channel} that contains:

@lisp
(channel
  (version 0)
  (directory "guix"))
@end lisp
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

OK.
