+for describing booleans, lengths, counters, keys, packages, classes, options,
+files, commands, arguments, and other objects, and also works with the
+standard document classes as well, for those who do not wish to use the
+@file{.dtx} format.
+
+Each item is given a margin tag similar to @code{\\DescribeEnv}, and is listed
+in the index by itself and also by category.  Each item may be sorted further
+by an optional class.  All index entries except code lines are hyperlinked.
+The dtxexample environment is provided for typesetting example code and its
+results.  Contents are displayed verbatim along with a caption and
+cross-referencing.  They are then input and executed, and the result is shown.
+Environments are also provided for displaying verbatim or formatted source
+code, user-interface displays, and sidebars with titles.  Macros are provided
+for formatting the names of inline LaTeX objects such as packages and
+booleans, as well as program and file names, file types, internet objects, the
+names of certain programs, a number of logos, and inline dashes and slashes.")
