Yes, that explains it.

* MobileOrg:: Viewing and capture on a mobile device
* History and Acknowledgments:: How Org came into being
* GNU Free Documentation License:: The license for this documentation.
* Main Index:: An index of Org's concepts and features
Based on this example from the Org manual, it looks as if the
descriptions should start on column 32 or the third column after the end
of the title, whichever is greater.
Thanks for your help on this.
All the best,
Tom
