+        pointing to a given PARI ``GEN``.  This function should only
+        be used when a complicated ``GEN`` is allocated with a single
+        ``gen`` pointing to it, and one needs a ``gen`` pointing to
+        one of its components.
 
-       For example, doing x = pari("[1,2]") allocates a gen pointing to
-       the list [1,2], but x[0] has no gen wrapping it, so new_ref
-       should be used there. Then parent would be x in this
-       case. See __getitem__ for an example of usage.
+        For example, doing ``x = pari("[1, 2]")`` allocates a ``gen``
+        pointing to the list ``[1, 2]``.  To create a ``gen`` pointing
+        to the first element, one can do ``new_ref(gel(x.g, 1), x)``.
+        See :meth:`gen.__getitem__` for an example of usage.
