-;; The main entry points are `flymake-mode' and `flymake-start'
+;; The main interactive entry point is the `flymake-mode' minor mode,

+;; is editing the buffer. The variables `flymake-no-changes-timeout',
+;; `flymake-start-syntax-check-on-newline' and

+;; `flymake-start', which immediately starts a check.
;;
-;; The docstrings of these variables are relevant to understanding how
-;; Flymake works for both the user and the backend programmer:
+;; Shortly after each check, a summary of collected diagnostics should
+;; appear in the mode-line. If it doesn't, there might not be a
+;; suitable Flymake backend for the current buffer's major mode, in
+;; which case Flymake will indicate this in the mode-line. The
+;; indicator will be `!' (exclamation mark), if all the configured
+;; backends errored (or decided to disable themselves) and `?'
+;; (question mark) if no backends were even configured.

-;; * `flymake-diagnostic-functions'
-;; * `flymake-diagnostic-types-alist'
+;; For programmers interested in writing a new Flymake backend, the
+;; docstring of `flymake-diagnostic-functions', the Flymake manual,
+;; and the code of existing backends are probably a good starting
+;; point.
+;;
+;; The user wishing to customize the appearance of error types should
+;; set properties on the symbols associated with each diagnostic type.
+;; The standard diagnostic symbols are `:error', `:warning' and
+;; `:note' (though a specific backend may define and use more). The
+;; following properties can be set:
+;;
+;; * `flymake-bitmap', an image displayed in the fringe according to
+;; `flymake-fringe-indicator-position'. The value actually follows
+;; the syntax of `flymake-error-bitmap' (which see). It is overridden
+;; by any `before-string' overlay property.
+;;
+;; * `flymake-severity', a non-negative integer specifying the
+;; diagnostic's severity. The higher, the more serious. If the
+;; overlay property `priority' is not specified, `severity' is used to
+;; set it and help sort overlapping overlays.
+;;
+;; * `flymake-overlay-control', an alist ((OVPROP . VALUE) ...) of
+;; further properties used to affect the appearance of Flymake
+;; annotations. With the exception of `category' and `evaporate',
+;; these properties are applied directly to the created overlay. See
+;; Info Node `(elisp)Overlay Properties'.
+;;
+;; * `flymake-category', a symbol whose property list is considered a
+;; default for missing values of any other properties. This is useful
+;; to backend authors when creating new diagnostic types that differ
+;; from an existing type by only a few properties. The category
+;; symbols `flymake-error', `flymake-warning' and `flymake-note' make
+;; good candidates for values of this property.
+;;
+;; For instance, to omit the fringe bitmap displayed for the standard
+;; `:note' type, set its `flymake-bitmap' property to nil:
+;;
+;; (put :note 'flymake-bitmap nil)
+;;
+;; To change the face for `:note' type, add a `face' entry to its
+;; `flymake-overlay-control' property.
+;;
+;; (push '(face . highlight) (get :note 'flymake-overlay-control))
+;;
+;; If you push another alist entry in front, it overrides the previous
+;; one. So this effectively removes the face from `:note'
+;; diagnostics.
+;;
+;; (push '(face . nil) (get :note 'flymake-overlay-control))
+;;
+;; To erase customizations and go back to the original look for
+;; `:note' types:
