Yes, if you want anything fancier than list-of-paragraphs, you'll have
to do it yourself.  I absolutely refuse to consider inventing a tiny
markup language for Optik help text!

And to those who want Optik to automatically split multiline text into
paragraphs: sorry, my time machine isn't that good.  Doing that would
break scripts written since 'description' was added in Optik 1.4.
You'll just have to turn your long 'description' text into a list of
paragraphs.
