=item description([FORMAT [, INDENT]])
Returns the formatted description (the Info field) for a tag. FORMAT must
be either C or C and defaults to C if no format is
specified. If C, returns wrapped paragraphs formatted in plain text
with a right margin matching the Text::Wrap default, preserving as
verbatim paragraphs that begin with whitespace. If C, return
paragraphs formatted in HTML.
If INDENT is specified, the string INDENT is prepended to each line of the
formatted output.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
The following exceptions may be thrown:
=over 4
=item no tag specified
The Lintian::Tag::Info::new constructor was called without passing a tag
as an argument.
=item unknown output format %s
An unknown output format was passed as the FORMAT argument of
description(). FORMAT must be either C or C.
=back
The following fatal internal errors may be reported:
=over 4
=item can't open %s: %s
The specified file, which should be part of the standard Lintian data
files, could not be opened. The file may be missing or have the wrong
permissions.
=item missing Check-Script field in %s
The specified check description file has no Check-Script field in its
header section. This probably indicates the file doesn't exist or has
some significant formatting error.
=item missing Tag field in %s
The specified check description file has a tag section that has no Tag
field.
=back
=head1 FILES
=over 4
=item LINTIAN_ROOT/checks/*.desc
The tag description files, from which tag metadata is read. All files
matching this shell glob expression will be read looking for tag data.
=item LINTIAN_ROOT/data/output/manual-references
Information about manual references. Each non-comment, non-empty line of
this file contains four fields separated by C<::>. The first field is the
name of the manual, the second field is the section or empty for data
about the whole manual, the third field is the title, and the fourth field
is the URL. The URL is optional.

=item LINTIAN_ROOT
This variable specifies Lintian's root directory. It defaults to
F if not set. The B program normally takes
care of setting it.
