Well, it's not part of ruby core/stdlib, but it seems to be an instance met=
hod=20
of Module or Class (or maybe Object) that, judging by its name, stores the=
=20
description of a class/module (or maybe object) and presumably allows you t=
o=20
acces this description from a documentationt or source code browser of some=
=20
sort - or something like that.

HTH,
Sebastian

as a method of Generators::HtmlMethod :-)
