Hey,

I've made a contribution to Homebrew that allows project maintainers to give 
any HTML element on their page a class of "pkg_mgr_desc" and `brew dscr 
FORMULA` would scrape the site for that HTML and display its plain text 
representation on the Terminal. It's intended for project maintainers to 
describe their software without Homebrew having to keep its own, potentially 
outdated, descriptions of all the software it has formulae for.

They're considering adding it to core Homebrew, but it needs widespread 
adoption. Please consider wrapping your description in <span 
class="pkg_mgr_desc"></span> tags (or p tags or whatever, any tag works, it 
just has to have the class).

Here's the pull request for my command if you want:
