+  <description>
+    <_p>Aegisub is a free, cross-platform open source tool for creating and modifying subtitles. Aegisub makes it quick and easy to time subtitles to audio, and features many powerful tools for styling them, including a built-in real-time video preview.</_p>
+    <_p>Aegisub was originally created as a tool to make typesetting, particularly in anime fansubs, a less painful experience. At the time of the start of the project, many other programs that supported the Advanced Substation Alpha format lacked (and in many cases, still lack; development on several competing programs have since been dropped for various reasons completely unrelated to Aegisub) many vital functions, or were too buggy and/or unreliable to be really useful.</_p>
+    <_p>Since then, Aegisub has grown into a fully fledged, highly customizable subtitle editor. It features a lot of convenient tools to help you with timing, typesetting, editing and translating subtitles, as well as a powerful scripting environment called Automation (originally mostly intended for creating karaoke effects, Automation can now be used much else, including creating macros and various other convenient tools).</_p>
+    <_p>Some highlights of Aegisub:</_p>
+    <ul>
+      <_li>Simple and intuitive yet powerful interface for editing subtitles</_li>
+      <_li>Support for many formats and character sets</_li>
+      <_li>Powerful video mode</_li>
+      <_li>Visual typesetting tools</_li>
+      <_li>Intuitive and customizable audio timing mode</_li>
+      <_li>Fully scriptable through the Automation module</_li>
+    </ul>
