+  <p>The <app>Modelines</app> plugin allows <app>gedit</app> to analyze the
+  lines of text at the start and end of a file, and then apply a set of
+  document preferences to the file. The <app>Modelines</app> plugin supports a
+  subset of the options used by the <app>Emacs</app>, <app>Kate</app> and
+  <app>Vim</app> text editors.</p>
