+    (description
+     "@code{\\shapepar} is a macro to typeset paragraphs in a specific shape.  The
+size is adjusted automatically so that the entire shape is filled with text.
+There may not be displayed maths or @code{\\vadjust} material (no
+@code{\\vspace}) in the argument of @code{\\shapepar}.  The macros work for
+both LaTeX and plain TeX.
+
+@code{\\shapepar} works in terms of user-defined shapes, though the package
+does provide some predefined shapes.  The tedium of creating these polygon
+definitions may be alleviated by using the @code{shapepatch} extension to
+@code{transfig} which will convert @code{xfig} output to @code{\\shapepar}
+polygon form.")
