.description
The text file describing an article, written by the author.

.contents

The storyboard files are pure text descriptions of
the individual articles (nodes in the hypertext network) of a Hyperties
database.  These files are broken into sections, containing the .~ title~
, .~ synonyms~, .~ description~, .~ content~, and notes (an optional
collection of textual remarks maintained by the author).  The content (and
possibly the description) may contain references to other documents,
which are simply the titles or synonyms of those documents, embedded in
the text (or connected to a graphic), and marked by the author.  Since the
storyboard is a pure text document, it uses a special .~ markup language~
to indicate page layout, font types, and to specify the
inclusion of graphics.
