FYI I planned to work on it (announced in ML [1]), but since you started I stop
working on it.

We talk about a different things. You about the conversion of the subtitles to
the final documentation (previously was done in docparse/testinfo.pl, now you
will do it in python).

But I'm suggesting to entirely remove subtitle "Description". It looks to me
useless and some people don't add it thus docs looks inconsistent.

Kind regards,
Petr
