<p>Cave descriptions are written at the end of the survex block - between <var>*begin</var> and
<var>*end</var> statements. Conventionally just after
<a href="qmentry.html">the QMs</a> and before the <var>*end</var> .
<p>The description is written as a single long line of text. In the online editor it is wrapped to fit the window.

;Cave description ;(leave commented-out)<br />
; See 2017 description for details of GSH up to the 'p50'.
Briefly, on the way to couldashouldawoulda a 22 m entrance crawl from the
surface leads to a climb down and a junction. Left leads to easy c
rawling passage for a short distance, then another junction where
traversing over a shallow hole and down a stooping-height sandy
passage to a sharp left turn and a sandy, easy 'squeeze' leading to a
straighforward p10.

<p>You can have several lines of description, as you can see if you follow the link above, but each one must be
prefixed with a semi-colon otherwise the survex software will complain.
<p style="margin:4%">
<em>Technical Note:</em> The syntax for a Cave Description, both the title and the text includes a leading semi-colon.
So it is syntactically a "comment" so far as the survex software is concerned.
