+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+tal: tal (trailer alignment filter)
+tal:
+tal: tal is a filter that reads in lines from standard input. The lines are
+tal: sent to standard output with common trailing characters aligned so
+tal: that they all begin and end on the same column of text. This can be
+tal: used to repair 'broken boxes' or align the backslashes on long macro
+tal: definitions in C programs. But tal will work on any kind of common
+tal: ending and is especially useful as a filter for the vim text editor.
