What specific example are you looking at?

  % grep sdesc setup.html
  sdesc: <i>"some text"</i>
  <p><tt>sdesc</tt> and <tt>ldesc</tt> are both mandatory fields for
  the <tt>sdesc</tt> field is required for correct operation of setup.exe.
  <p><tt>sdesc</tt> is a one line description of the package.  This is the
  <tt>sdesc:      "boffo: A whackamole simulation in ASCII art"</tt>
  <tt>sdesc:      "A whackamole simulation in ASCII art"</tt>
      sdesc:    "A whackamole simulation in ASCII art"
  <tt>sdesc: "A whackamole simulation in ASCII art"</tt><br>
  <tt>sdesc: "Runtime library for a whackamole simulation in ASCII art"</tt><br>
