+     Vim is an advanced text editor that seeks to provide the power of the
+     de-facto Unix editor 'Vi', with a more complete feature set.
+     It's useful whether you're already using vi or using a different editor.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+     Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text
+     editing.
+     Vim is often called a "programmer's editor," and so useful for programming
+     that many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though.
+     Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to
+     editing configuration files.
