It's this one. (contributor: Amatuka)

Technically the second example is a sentence fragment. (contributor:
Amatuka)

Formed from 'verb + you' or 'noun no you'

V = verb
N = noun. (contributor: Amatuka)

Wait, isn't 'you-ni' 'like' or 'as' and 'you-na' 'such as'?

Like - Do as I do.
Such As - I don't like bad people such as liars. (contributor: Confused

I have come across the following example:
こういった困難を軽減するよう努力することが望ましいと彼は考えている。
How does よう in the above sentence differ from よう in this entry?.
For me よう in this sentence doesn't seem to fit any grammatical
construction. (contributor: gandal)
