-@code{prettify-symbols-mode} and @code{global-prettify-symbols-mode}
-are two minor modes (@pxref{Minor Modes}) that can display specified
-symbols as composed characters. For instance, in Emacs Lisp mode
-(@pxref{Lisp Eval}), this mode will replace the string ``lambda'' with
-the Greek lambda character.

-@findex prettify-symbols-mode
-@vindex prettify-symbols-alist
-When Prettify Symbols mode and Font Lock mode (@pxref{Font Lock}) are
-enabled, symbols are prettified (displayed as composed characters)
-according to the rules in @code{prettify-symbols-alist}, which are
-locally defined by major modes (@pxref{Major Modes}) supporting
-prettifying. To add further customizations for a given major mode,
-you can modify @code{prettify-symbols-alist}. For example:
-
-@example
-(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook
- (lambda ()
- (push '("<=" . ?≤) prettify-symbols-alist)))
-@end example
-
-@findex global-prettify-symbols-mode
-You can enable this mode locally in desired buffers, or use
-@code{global-prettify-symbols-mode} to enable it for all modes that
-support it.

+@findex prettify-symbols-mode
+ Prettify Symbols mode is a buffer-local minor mode that replaces
+certain strings with more ``attractive'' versions for display
+purposes. For example, in Emacs Lisp mode, it replaces the string
+``lambda'' with the Greek lambda character. You may wish to use this
+in non-programming modes as well. You can customize the mode by
+adding more entries to @code{prettify-symbols-alist}. There is also a
+global version, @code{global-prettify-symbols-mode}, which enables the
+mode in all buffers that support it.
