     (description
-     "GNU Hyperbole, or just Hyperbole, is an easy-to-use, yet powerful and
-programmable hypertextual information management system implemented as a GNU
-Emacs package.  It offers rapid views and interlinking of all kinds of textual
-information, utilizing Emacs for editing.  It can dramatically increase your
-productivity and greatly reduce the number of keyboard/mouse keys you'll need
-to work efficiently.  Hyperbole lets you:
-
-@itemize
-@item Quickly create hyperlink buttons either from the keyboard or by dragging
-between a source and destination window with a mouse button depressed.  Later,
-activate buttons by pressing/clicking on them or by giving the name of the
-button.
-@item Activate many kinds of \"implicit buttons\" recognized by context within
-text buffers, e.g. URLs, grep output lines, and git commits.  A single key or
-mouse button automatically does the right thing in dozens of contexts; just
-press and go.
-@item Build outlines with multi-level numbered outline nodes, e.g. 1.4.8.6,
-that all renumber automatically as any node or tree is moved in the outline.
-Each node also has a permanent hyperlink anchor that you can reference from
-any other node.
-@item Manage all your contacts quickly with hierarchical categories and embed
-hyperlinks within each entry.  Or create an archive of documents with
-hierarchical entries and use the same search mechanism to quickly find any
-matching entry.
-@item Use single keys to easily manage your Emacs windows or frames and
-quickly retrieve saved window and frame configurations.
-@item Search for things in your current buffers, in a directory tree or across
-major web search engines with the touch of a few keys.
-@end itemize
-
-The common thread in all these features is making retrieval, management and
-display of information fast and easy.  That is Hyperbole's purpose.")
