 Format string compilation
 =========================
 
-``fmt/compile.h`` provides format string compilation support when using
-``FMT_COMPILE``. Format strings are parsed, checked and converted into efficient
-formatting code at compile-time. This supports arguments of built-in and string
-types as well as user-defined types with ``constexpr`` ``parse`` functions in
-their ``formatter`` specializations. Format string compilation can generate more
-binary code compared to the default API and is only recommended in places where
-formatting is a performance bottleneck.
+``fmt/compile.h`` provides format string compilation enabled via the
