+      "NestedText is a file format for holding data that is to be entered, edited, or
+viewed by people.  It allows data to be organized into a nested collection of
+dictionaries, lists, and strings.  In this way it is similar to JSON and YAML, but
+without the complexity and risk of YAML and without the syntatic clutter of JSON.
+NestedText is both simple and natural.  Only a small number of concepts and rules must
+be kept in mind when creating it.  It is easily created, modified, or viewed with
+a text editor and easily understood and used by both programmers and non-programmers.")
