+     "There is a semantic way of using tab characters in source code:
+@strong{tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment}.  This package provides a
+minor mode which improves Emacs' auto-indenting so that pressing @key{TAB}
+inserts the correct mix of tabs and spaces to maintain visual alignment
+regardless of a viewer's tab width.  You can still use all spaces if you
+prefer; the code merely ensures that @emph{if} you enable tabs, the tab size
+does not matter.")
