+   programming language with extensions to support text editing.
+  </p>
+  <p>The features of GNU Emacs include:</p>
+  <ul>
+   <li>Content-sensitive editing modes, including syntax coloring, for
+   a wide-range of file types</li>
+   <li>Complete built-in documentation, including a tutorial for new users</li>
+   <li>Full Unicode support for nearly all human languages and their scripts</li>
+   <li>Highly customizable, using Emacs Lisp code or a graphical interface</li>
+   <li>Includes a project planner, mail and news reader, debugger
+   interface, calendar, and more</li>
+  </ul>
