DevRef suggests one of these should form a sentence:

  hpt is a <synopsis>
  hpt is <synopsis>
  hpt are <synopsis>

None of which work for the current synopsis or your
suggested update.  However this does work for my
synopsis:

  hpt <synopsis>, 
as in ...
  htp creates a TCP tunnel through http and https proxies

Which I think is in the spirit of DevRef, if not
exactly matching it.  I can't find an easy way to
turn your synopsis into a sentence the way DevRef 
suggests, so I think the current one is a better
fit.

Capitalising "Create" is a mistake.  It should be
"create", and I will change it to that.
