-//! with the `#![no_std]` attribute.
+//! This crate currently uses the following rules to determine the width of a
+//! character or string, in order of decreasing precedence. These may be tweaked in the future.
 //!
-//! # crates.io
+//! 1. [`'\u{00AD}'` SOFT HYPHEN](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=00AD) has width 1.
+//! 2. [`'\u{115F}'` HANGUL CHOSEONG FILLER](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=115F) has width 2.
+//! 3. The following have width 0:
+//!    - [Characters](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=%5Cp%7BDefault_Ignorable_Code_Point%7D)
+//!       with the [`Default_Ignorable_Code_Point`](https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode15.0.0/ch05.pdf#G40095) property.
+//!    - [Characters](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=%5Cp%7BGrapheme_Extend%7D)
+//!       with the [`Grapheme_Extend`] property.
+//!    - The following 8 characters, all of which have NFD decompositions consisting of two [`Grapheme_Extend`] chracters:
+//!      - [`'\u{0CC0}'` KANNADA VOWEL SIGN II](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=0CC0),
+//!      - [`'\u{0CC7}'` KANNADA VOWEL SIGN EE](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=0CC7),
+//!      - [`'\u{0CC8}'` KANNADA VOWEL SIGN AI](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=0CC8),
+//!      - [`'\u{0CCA}'` KANNADA VOWEL SIGN O](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=0CCA),
+//!      - [`'\u{0CCB}'` KANNADA VOWEL SIGN OO](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=0CCB),
+//!      - [`'\u{1B3B}'` BALINESE VOWEL SIGN RA REPA TEDUNG](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=1B3B),
+//!      - [`'\u{1B3D}'` BALINESE VOWEL SIGN LA LENGA TEDUNG](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=1B3D), and
+//!      - [`'\u{1B43}'` BALINESE VOWEL SIGN PEPET TEDUNG](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=1B43).
+//!    - [Characters](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=%5Cp%7BHangul_Syllable_Type%3DV%7D%5Cp%7BHangul_Syllable_Type%3DT%7D)
+//!       with a [`Hangul_Syllable_Type`](https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode15.0.0/ch03.pdf#G45593)
+//!       of `Vowel_Jamo` (`V`) or `Trailing_Jamo` (`T`).
+//!    - [`'\0'` NUL](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=0000).
+//! 4. The [control characters](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=%5Cp%7BCc%7D)
+//!    have no defined width, and are ignored when determining the width of a string.
+//! 5. [Characters](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=%5Cp%7BEast_Asian_Width%3DF%7D%5Cp%7BEast_Asian_Width%3DW%7D)
+//!    with an [`East_Asian_Width`] of [`Fullwidth` (`F`)](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/#ED2)

+//! 6. [Characters](https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=%5Cp%7BEast_Asian_Width%3DA%7D)
+//!    with an [`East_Asian_Width`] of [`Ambiguous` (`A`)](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/#ED6)
+//!    have width 2 in an East Asian context, and width 1 otherwise.
+//! 7. All other characters have width 1.
 //!
-//! You can use this package in your project by adding the following
-//! to your `Cargo.toml`:
+//! [`East_Asian_Width`]: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/#ED1
+//! [`Grapheme_Extend`]: https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode15.0.0/ch03.pdf#G52443
+
 //!
-//! ```toml
-//! [dependencies]
-//! unicode-width = "0.1.5"
-//! ```
+//! ## Canonical equivalence
+//!
+//! The non-CJK width methods guarantee that canonically equivalent strings are assigned the same width.
+//! However, this guarantee does not currently hold for the CJK width variants.
