+* Introduction  -*-compilation-*-
+
+This shows the different kinds of messages compile recognizes by default and
+how they are rendered.  It is intended both to help you decide which matchers
+you need and as a test of the matchers.  Move the mouse over a colored part or
+use `compilation-message-face', to see how much text was actually matched.
+
+The important part is the symbol(s) line at the beginning of each entry.
+These are the symbols you can customize `compilation-error-regexp-alist' for,
+to match the messages shown in that entry.  A few complex cases have more than
+one symbol, which should be selected together.
