-    longDescription = ''
-    This package provides conversion in both directions between UTF-8
-    Unicode and more than thirty 7-bit ASCII equivalents, including
-    RFC 2396 URI format and RFC 2045 Quoted Printable format, the
-    representations used in HTML, SGML, XML, OOXML, the Unicode
-    standard, Rich Text Format, POSIX portable charmaps, POSIX locale
-    specifications, and Apache log files, and the escapes used for
-    including Unicode in Ada, C, Common Lisp, Java, Pascal, Perl,
-    Postscript, Python, Scheme, and Tcl.
-
-    Such ASCII equivalents are useful when including Unicode text in
-    program source, when debugging, and when entering text into web
-    programs that can handle the Unicode character set but are not
-    8-bit safe. For example, MovableType, the blog software, truncates
-    posts as soon as it encounters a byte with the high bit
-    set. However, if Unicode is entered in the form of HTML numeric
-    character entities, Movable Type will not garble the post.
-
-    It also provides ways of converting non-ASCII characters to
-    similar ASCII characters, e.g. by stripping diacritics.
