+    <description><![CDATA[
         This plugin is intended for IntelliJ IDEA developers only. It should be installed along with main Kotlin plugin.
         When main Kotlin plugin is disabled due to incompatibility with bleeding edge IntelliJ IDEA,
         this plugin will still compile Kotlin sources.
         <br />
-        This plugin is only capable of compiling Kotlin code. All highlighting, inspections, refactorings are disabled.
