There is AFAIK no standard but common practise is to use
column 32 for "normal entries" and column 48 for "individual
entries".  The description should be a full sentence ending
with a period.  Continuation lines are indented with an extra
space, for example,

* FOO: (FOODOC).                Extensive documentation about the
                                 FOO software package.

* FOOPROG: (FOODOC)FOOPROG invocation.          FOOPROG entry.

Regards,
