Talk:Description

It's not at all clear to me what a "description" is, exactly, or what one would use such a thing for. Can someone write a bit of text describing that?

Also, the "bla bla bla" looks a bit ugly; this space could be better used for random sentences sort of elaborating on what a description is, or at least providing (silly) examples of what one might put in one. --Brooks 23:59, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I tend to think of it like this: if an array of values is an enumeration list, then a hash of values is a description list. I'm not feeling creative enough today to come up with new example text, but I'll fix the Todo now. --Taco 08:39, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure my solution is correct, because if it was this simple why ask? Not quite knowing what the latex package does is a bit of a problem while answering (not for the first time). --Taco 08:55, 4 Sep 2005 (UTC)
