 @findex partial-completion-mode
+  Partial Completion mode implements a more powerful kind of
+completion that can complete multiple words in parallel.  For example,
+it can complete the command name abbreviation @code{p-b} into
+@code{print-buffer}, because no other command starts with two words
+whose initials are @samp{p} and @samp{b}.
+
+  Partial completion of directories in file names uses @samp{*} to
+indicate the places for completion; thus, @file{/u*/b*/f*} might
+complete to @file{/usr/bin/foo}.
+
+  To enable this mode, use the command @kbd{M-x
+partial-completion-mode}, or customize the option
+@code{partial-completion-mode}.  This binds the partial completion
+commands to @key{TAB}, @key{SPC}, @key{RET}, and @kbd{?}.  The usual
+completion commands are available on @kbd{M-@key{TAB}},
+@kbd{M-@key{SPC}}, @kbd{M-@key{RET}} and @kbd{M-?}.

-  The @code{complete} library implements a more powerful kind of
-completion that can complete multiple words at a time.  For example, it
-can complete the command name abbreviation @code{p-b} into
-@code{print-buffer}, because no other command starts with two words
-whose initials are @samp{p} and @samp{b}.  To enable this, use the
-command @kbd{M-x partial-completion-mode} or customize the option
-@code{partial-completion-mode}.  Unless the option
-@code{PC-disable-includes} is @code{t}, Partial Completion mode also
-extends @kbd{M-x find-file} so that the @samp{<@dots{}>} sequence is
-interpreted as a file on the path @code{PC-include-file-path} and
-partial completion of file names is possible.  Partial completion of
-directories in file names requires @samp{*}s to indicate the
-completions: @file{/u*/b*/f*} might expand to @file{/usr/bin/foo}.  When
-Partial Completion mode is active, the Meta versions of the @kbd{TAB},
-@kbd{SPC}, @kbd{RET} and @kbd{?} keys act as those keys do by default
-for completion.
+  Another feature of Partial Completion mode is to extend
+@code{find-file} so that the @samp{<@var{include}>} stands for the
+file named @var{include} in some directory in the path
+@code{PC-include-file-path}.  If you set @code{PC-disable-includes} to
+@code{nil}, this feature is disabled.
