<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
-The CUPS PPD compiler reads meta files that contain descriptions
-of one or more PPD files to be generated by <i>ppdc</i>. This man
-page provides a quick reference to the supported keywords and
-should be used in conjunction with the online help for CUPS.
-<p>The source file format is plain ASCII text that can be edited
-using your favorite text editor. Comments are supported using
-the C (/* ... */) and C++ (// ...) comment mechanisms.
-<p>Printer driver information can be grouped and shared using
-curly braces ({ ... }); PPD files are written when a close
-brace or end-of-file is seen and a PCFileName directive has been
-defined.
-<p>Directives may be placed anywhere on a line and are followed by
-one or more values. The following is a list of the available
-directives and the values they accept:
-<p style="margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em"><b>#define</b> name value

-<p style="margin-left: 5.0em; text-indent: -5.0em"><b>#elif</b> {name | value}
