+    (description
+     "fplll contains implementations of several lattice algorithms.
+The implementation relies on floating-point orthogonalization, and LLL
+is central to the code, hence the name.
+
+It includes implementations of floating-point LLL reduction
+algorithms, offering different speed/guarantees ratios.  It contains
+a @emph{wrapper} choosing the estimated best sequence of variants in
+order to provide a guaranteed output as fast as possible.  In the case
+of the wrapper, the succession of variants is oblivious to the user.
+
+It includes an implementation of the BKZ reduction algorithm,
+including the BKZ-2.0 improvements (extreme enumeration
+pruning, pre-processing of blocks, early termination).  Additionally,
+Slide reduction and self dual BKZ are supported.
+
+It also includes a floating-point implementation of the
+Kannan-Fincke-Pohst algorithm that finds a shortest non-zero lattice
+vector.  For the same task, the GaussSieve algorithm is also available
+in fplll.  Finally, it contains a variant of the enumeration algorithm
+that computes a lattice vector closest to a given vector belonging to
+the real span of the lattice.")
