Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing. This looks better to me. If we know the output is HTML, we should preserve the markup in the descriptions.

I think that was proposed a while back. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
