+    (description
+     "Unmodified TeX has very few ways of preventing widows and orphans.  In
+documents with figures, section headings, and equations, TeX can stretch the
+vertical glue between items in order to prevent widows and orphans, but many
+documents have no figures or headings.  TeX can also shorten the page by
+1 line, but this will give each page a different length which can make
+a document look uneven.  The typical solution is to strategically insert
+@samp{\\looseness=1}, but this requires manual editing every time that the
+document is edited.  Lua-widow-control is essentially an automation of the
+@code{\\looseness} method: it uses Lua callbacks to find stretchy paragraphs,
+then it lengthens them to remove widows and orphans.  Lua-widow-control is
+compatible with all LuaTeX and LuaMetaTeX-based formats.")
