That's a matter of parsing the content, the @description block
is currently not expected to contain direct html text but one
can easily enable that.

I won't like to see xml being abandoned altogether - it's a
very good intermediate format that can combine many sources
much more easily than trying to do it with a bunch of scripts.

In my opinion however we just do not have that many sources
and styles as that it can be that much better over human-oriented
text as it is in other work areas of the industry.

Only if the text is being auto-generated from the xml source,
... as things would get out of sync sooner than later.

Yeah, it's a long story. Btw, where do you have the sources
to the formatting engine of yours? As claimed earlier I am
pretty unambitious about web presentation things with my focus
being more on packaging and maintaining an `acinclude` tool.
