+    (description "Markup.ml provides an HTML parser and an XML parser.  The
+parsers are wrapped in a simple interface: they are functions that transform
+byte streams to parsing signal streams.  Streams can be manipulated in various
+ways, such as processing by fold, filter, and map, assembly into DOM tree
+structures, or serialization back to HTML or XML.
+
+Both parsers are based on their respective standards.  The HTML parser, in
+particular, is based on the state machines defined in HTML5.
+
+The parsers are error-recovering by default, and accept fragments.  This makes
+it very easy to get a best-effort parse of some input.  The parsers can,
+however, be easily configured to be strict, and to accept only full documents.
+
+Apart from this, the parsers are streaming (do not build up a document in
+memory), non-blocking (can be used with threading libraries), lazy (do not
+consume input unless the signal stream is being read), and process the input in
+a single pass.  They automatically detect the character encoding of the input
+stream, and convert everything to UTF-8.")
