-xkbcommon is a keymap compiler and support library which processes a
-reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the XKB specification. Primarily,
-a keymap is created from a set of Rules/Model/Layout/Variant/Options names,
-processed through an XKB ruleset, and compiled into a struct xkb_keymap,
-which is the base type for all xkbcommon operations.
-
-From an xkb_keymap, an xkb_state object is created which holds the current
-state of all modifiers, groups, LEDs, etc, relating to that keymap. All
-key events must be fed into the xkb_state object using xkb_state_update_key().
-Once this is done, the xkb_state object will be properly updated, and the
-keysyms to use can be obtained with xkb_state_key_get_syms().
+libxkbcommon is a keyboard keymap compiler and support library which
+processes a reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the [XKB] \(X Keyboard
+Extension) specification. It also contains a module for handling Compose
+and dead keys and a separate library for listing available keyboard layouts.
