+ * A `PangoLayout` structure represents an entire paragraph of text.
  *
  * While complete access to the layout capabilities of Pango is provided
  * using the detailed interfaces for itemization and shaping, using
  * that functionality directly involves writing a fairly large amount
- * of code. The objects and functions in this section provide a
- * high-level driver for formatting entire paragraphs of text
- * at once. This includes paragraph-level functionality such as
- * line breaking, justification, alignment and ellipsization.
- *
- * The `PangoLayout` structure represents an entire paragraph
- * of text. It is initialized with a `PangoContext`, UTF-8 string
- * and set of attributes for that string. Once that is done, the
- * set of formatted lines can be extracted from the object,
- * the layout can be rendered, and conversion between logical
- * character positions within the layout's text, and the physical
- * position of the resulting glyphs can be made.
