+      Cherrytree is an hierarchical note taking application,
+      featuring rich text, syntax highlighting and powerful search
+      capabilities. It organizes all information in units called
+      "nodes", as in a tree, and can be very useful to store any piece
+      of information, from tables and links to pictures and even entire
+      documents. All those little bits of information you have scattered
+      around your hard drive can be conveniently placed into a
+      Cherrytree document where you can easily find it.
