 %description
-This module provides ways to parse XML documents. It is built on top of
- XML::Parser::Expat, which is a lower level interface to James Clark's expat
- library. Each call to one of the parsing methods creates a new instance of
- XML::Parser::Expat which is then used to parse the document. Expat options may
- be provided when the XML::Parser object is created. These options are then
- passed on to the Expat object on each parse call. They can also be given as
- extra arguments to the parse methods, in which case they override options
- given at XML::Parser creation time.
+This module provides ways to parse XML documents. It is built on top of the
+XML::Parser::Expat manpage, which is a lower level interface to James
+Clark's expat library. Each call to one of the parsing methods creates a
+new instance of XML::Parser::Expat which is then used to parse the
+document. Expat options may be provided when the XML::Parser object is
+created. These options are then passed on to the Expat object on each parse
+call. They can also be given as extra arguments to the parse methods, in
+which case they override options given at XML::Parser creation time.
 
-The behavior of the parser is controlled either by "Style" and/or "Handlers"
- options, or by "setHandlers" method. These all provide mechanisms for
- XML::Parser to set the handlers needed by XML::Parser::Expat. If neither
- Style nor Handlers are specified, then parsing just checks the document
- for being well-formed.
+The behavior of the parser is controlled either by 'the /STYLES manpage'
+and/or 'the /HANDLERS manpage' options, or by the /setHandlers manpage
+method. These all provide mechanisms for XML::Parser to set the handlers
+needed by XML::Parser::Expat. If neither 'Style' nor 'Handlers' are
+specified, then parsing just checks the document for being well-formed.
 
 When underlying handlers get called, they receive as their first parameter
- the Expat object, not the Parser object.
