+    (description
+"@command{catgirl} is a TLS-only terminal IRC client.
+
+Notable features include:
+@itemize
+@item Tab complete: most recently seen or mentioned nicks are completed first.
+  Commas are inserted between multiple nicks.
+@item Prompt: the prompt clearly shows whether input will be interpreted as a
+command or sent as a message.
+@item Split scroll: keeps the latest messages in view while scrolling.
+@item URL detection: recent URLs from a particular user or matching a
+substring can be opened or copied.
+@item Nick coloring: color generation based on usernames remains stable across
+nick changes.  Mentions of users in messages are colored.
+@item Topic diffing: the modified portion of a channel topic change is
+highlighted.
+@item Ignore: visibility of filtered messages can be toggled.
+@item Security: on FreeBSD and OpenBSD, the restrict option enables tight
+sandboxing.  Sandboxing is always used on OpenBSD.
+@end itemize
+Non-features include:
+@itemize
+@item Dynamic configuration: all configuration happens in a simple text file
+or on the command line.
+@item Multi-network: a terminal multiplexer such as @command{screen} or
+@command{tmux} can be used to connect catgirl to multiple networks.
+@item Reconnection: when the connection to the server is lost,
+@command{catgirl} exits.  It can be run in a loop or connected to a bouncer,
+such as pounce. @item CTCP: apart from ACTION, this protocol is useless at
+best and enables abuse at worst.
+@item Protocol coverage: IRCv3 extensions are implemented only where they
+contribute to the intended user experience.
+@item Cleartext IRC: TLS is now ubiquitous and certificates are easy to obtain.
