+*** Prettify Symbols mode supports custom composition predicates.  By
 overriding the default `prettify-symbols-compose-predicate', modes can
 specify in which contexts a symbol map be composed to some unicode
 character.  `prettify-symbols-default-compose-p' is the default which
 is suitable for most programming languages such as C or Lisp (but not
 (La)TeX).
 
+*** Symbols are not prettified while point is inside them.
+New variable `prettify-symbols-unprettify-at-point' configures this.

 ** New `xterm-screen-extra-capabilities' config.
 
 ** The `save-place' variable is replaced by a `save-place-mode'.
