description "reads aligned RNA sequences from stdin or file.aln and calculates\
 locally stable RNA secondary structure with a maximal base pair span. For a sequence\
 of length n and a base pair span of L the algorithm uses only O(n+L*L) memory and\
 O(n*L*L) CPU time. Thus it is practical to \"scan\" very large genomes for short RNA
 structures.\n"

details="If this parameter is set, the input is considered to be in a particular\
 file format. Otherwise, the program tries to determine the file format automatically,\
 if an input file was provided in the set of parameters. In case the input MSA is provided\
 in interactive mode, or from a terminal (TTY), the programs default is to assume\
 CLUSTALW format.\nCurrently, the following formats are available: ClustalW ('C'),\
 Stockholm 1.0 ('S'), FASTA/Pearson ('F'), and MAF ('M').\n\n"

option  "aln"             -
"Produce output alignments and secondary structure plots for each hit found.\n"
details="This option tells the program to produce, for each hit, a colored and structure\
 annotated (sub)alignment and secondary structure plot in PostScript format. It also\
 adds the subalignment hit into a multi-Stockholm formatted file \"RNALalifold_results.stk\".\
 The postscript output file names are \"aln_start_end.eps\" and \"ss_start_end.eps\". All\
 files will be created in the current directory. The optional argument string can be used\
 to set a specific prefix that is used to name the output files. The file names then become\
 \"prefix_aln_start_end.eps\", \"prefix_ss_start_end.eps\", and \"prefix.stk\".\

option  "auto-id"  -
"Automatically generate an ID for each alignment.\n"
details="The default mode of RNALalifold is to automatically determine an ID from the input alignment\
 if the input file format allows to do that. Alignment IDs are, for instance, usually given in\
 Stockholm 1.0 formatted input. If this flag is active, RNALalifold ignores any IDs retrieved from the\
 input and automatically generates an ID for each alignment.\n\n"

 delimiter ALWAYS is the first character of the \"ID delimiter\" as supplied through\
 the --id-delim option. If the delimiter is a whitespace character or empty, invalid\
 characters will be simply removed rather than substituted.\

 e.g. \"5=seq5.shape,3=seq3.shape\" will assign the reactivity values from file seq5.shape to \
 the fifth sequence in the alignment, and the values from file seq3.shape to sequence 3. If \

 To alter these parameters, e.g. m=1.9 and b=-0.7, use a \

 any case; this is the default for mfe and partition function folding (-p).\nThe option -d0 ignores\
 dangling ends altogether (mostly for debugging).\nWith -d3 mfe folding will allow coaxial stacking\
 of adjacent helices in multi-loops. At the moment the implementation will not allow coaxial stacking\
 of the two interior pairs in a loop of degree 3 and works only for mfe folding.\n\nNote that with\
