 ;;; Commentary:

-;; function is `org-lint', which see.
+;; This library implements linting for Org syntax.  The process is
+;; started by calling `org-lint' command, which see.
 
-;; Internally, the library defines a new structure:
-;; `org-lint-checker', with the following slots:
-
-;;   - NAME: Unique check identifier, as a non-nil symbol that doesn't
-;;     start with an hyphen.
-;;
-;;     The check is done calling the function `org-lint-NAME' with one
-;;     mandatory argument, the parse tree describing the current Org
-;;     buffer.  Such function calls are wrapped within
-;;     a `save-excursion' and point is always at `point-min'.  Its
-;;     return value has to be an alist (POSITION MESSAGE) when
-;;     POSITION refer to the buffer position of the error, as an
-;;     integer, and MESSAGE is a string describing the error.
-
-;;   - DESCRIPTION: Summary about the check, as a string.
-
-;;   - CATEGORIES: Categories relative to the check, as a list of
-;;     symbol.  They are used for filtering when calling `org-lint'.
-;;     Checkers not explicitly associated to a category are collected
-;;     in the `default' one.
-
-;;   - TRUST: The trust level one can have in the check.  It is either
-;;     `low' or `high', depending on the heuristics implemented and
-;;     the nature of the check.  This has an indicative value only and
-;;     is displayed along reports.
-
-;; All checks have to be listed in `org-lint--checkers'.
+;; New checkers are added by `org-lint-add-checker' function.
+;; Internally, all checks are listed in `org-lint--checkers'.
 
 ;; Results are displayed in a special "*Org Lint*" buffer with
 ;; a dedicated major mode, derived from `tabulated-list-mode'.
-;;
 ;; In addition to the usual key-bindings inherited from it, "C-j" and
 ;; "TAB" display problematic line reported under point whereas "RET"
 ;; jumps to it.  Also, "h" hides all reports similar to the current
 ;; one.  Additionally, "i" removes them from subsequent reports.
