+%description
+Markdown is a text-to-HTML filter; it translates an easy-to-read /
+easy-to-write structured text format into HTML. Markdown's text format
+is most similar to that of plain text email, and supports features
+such as headers, emphasis, code blocks, blockquotes, and links.
+
+This is a fast and complete Python implementation of the Markdown
+spec.
+
+For information about markdown itself, see
