It's a bit redundant to have a "Description" header - we assume that the text immediately at the top is a description of the feature.

Lines should be a maximum of 120 characters long. Most decent text editors can show you the column number (usually in the bottom corner) or even display a ruler at the 120 character mark.

No need to make this italic, best keep it consistent with the rest of the docs.
