-/// This is useful, for example, to convert a [`ratio`]($type/ratio) value (such as `5%`, `100%`
-/// etc.), which are usually based upon the outer container's dimensions (precisely what this
-/// function gives), to a fixed length (in `pt`).
-///
-/// This is also useful if you're trying to make content fit a certain box, and doing certain
-/// arithmetic using `pt` (for example, comparing different lengths) is required.
-///
-/// Please note: This function may provide a width or height of `infpt` if one of the page
-/// dimensions is `auto`, under certain circumstances. This should not normally occur for
-/// usual page sizes, however.
+/// You can also use this function to resolve [`ratio`]($type/ratio) to fixed
+/// lengths. This might come in handy if you're building your own layout
+/// abstractions.
 ///
 /// ```example
-/// layout(size => {
-///     // work with the width and height of the container we're in
-///     // using size.width and size.height
+/// #layout(size => {
+///   let half = 50% * size.width
+///   [Half a page is #half wide.]
 /// })
-///
-/// layout(size => {
-///     // convert 49% (of page width) to 'pt'
-///     // note that "ratio" values are always relative to a certain, possibly arbitrary length,
-///     // but it's usually the current container's width or height (e.g., for table columns,
-///     // 15% would be relative to the width, but, for rows, it would be relative to the height).
-///     let percentage_of_width = (49% / 1%) * 0.01 * size.width
-///     // ... use the converted value ...
-/// })
-///
-/// // The following two boxes are equivalent, and will have rectangles sized 200pt and 40pt:
