Everything below the closing `---` is the description, and it arrives exactly as you
wrote it. This is the reason to use a markdown file instead of a spreadsheet cell: the
blurb keeps its paragraphs.

Markdown works here. **Bold**, *italic*, and lists all survive:

- Three nights in, the watchman stops writing the log.
- By the fourth, the log is writing him.

Write as much as you need, up to about five thousand characters.
