 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .SH DESCRIPTION

-.SS Overview
-dmenu is a generic menu for X, originally designed for
-.BR dwm (1).
-It manages huge amounts (up to 10.000 and more) of user defined menu items
-efficiently.
-.SS Options
-.TP
-.B \-v
-prints version information to standard output, then exits.
-.SH USAGE
-dmenu reads a list of newline-separated items from standard input and creates a
-menu.  When the user selects an item or enters any text and presses Return, his
-choice is printed to standard output and dmenu terminates.
+.B dmenu
+is a dynamic menu for X, which reads a list of newline\-separated items from
+stdin.  When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed
+to stdout and dmenu terminates.  Entering text will narrow the items to those
+matching the tokens in the input.
