 This script has a single function: to return a custom description for every
 vanilla item in the game.
 
-Having this as a separate script to "view-item-info.lua" allows either mods
-to partially or fully replace the content.
-
 If "raw/scripts/item-descriptions.lua" exists, it will entirely replace this one.
-Instead, use "raw/scripts/more-item-descriptions.lua" to add content, or replace
+Instead, mods should use "raw/scripts/more-item-descriptions.lua" to add content or replace
 descriptions on a case-by-case basis.  If an item description cannot be found in
 the latter script, view-item-info will fall back to the former.
-
-Lines should be about 70 characters for consistent presentation and to fit
-on-screen.  Logical sections can be separated by an empty line ("").
-Text blocks should use identical indentation to make formatting clearly visible.
