 Announcement strings
 ####################
 
-The ``announcements.yml`` file is where all of MobArena's announcements
-and messages are stored. You can freely edit this file however you see
-fit, and color codes are supported. **To add color to a message**, use
-the ``&``-character followed by a valid color code. You can find a list
-of valid codes `right
-here <http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Formatting_codes#Color_codes>`__,
-and you can find examples in the default file.
+MobArena supports custom strings for announcement and messages. This lets you
+create custom messages unique to your server based on certain actions, like a
+game ending. The ``announcements.yml`` file stores MobArena announcement and
+message strings. [#]_
 
-Note that some of the announcements take a variable, represented in the
-message by a ``%``-character. You can leave this character out if you
-don't want the variable in the message. It is not possible to add
-variables to announcements that don't take them by default, and
-announcements that take one variable cannot take more than that one
-variable.
+.. [#] Default strings are found in the `Msg.java`_ class
 
-If you **don't want to see a specific announcement**, you have to set
-its value to ``''`` (note: two single-quotes, not one double-quote).
-This will cause MobArena to ignore the announcement. Note that simply
-removing the node will not work, as MobArena forcefully adds it back in.
+
+*************
+Color support
+*************
+
+Color codes are supported. **To add color to a message**, use an ampersand
+(``&``) followed by a valid color code. `Color codes`_ are available in the
+Gamepedia Minecraft wiki. Examples are in the default file.
+
+
+*********
+Variables
+*********
+
+Some announcements use a variable. In the string, variables are represented by a
+percent sign (``%``). Remove it if you do not want a variable in the message.
+
+There are some limitations to variables:
+
+- Not possible to add variables to announcements that don't take them by default
+- Announcements that take one variable cannot take more than that variable
+
+
+***********************
+Disable an announcement
+***********************
+
+If you want to **disable a specific announcement**, set its value to two single
+quotes (``''``). MobArena ignores announcements set to an empty value. To
+disable one, you must override it. Deleting the option does not disable an
+announcement since MobArena adds them in by default.
+
+
+********
+Examples
+********
+
+Three examples below show all of the features explained above.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+   :emphasize-lines: 2, 5, 8
+
+   # Use a red message for the start of a new game
+   arena-start: 'Let the games begin! &cMay the odds be ever in your favor!'
+
+   # Use a variable for the number of seconds until the game begins
+   arena-auto-start: 'Arena will auto-start in &c%&r seconds.'
+
+   # Turn off the golem-died message
+   golem-died: ''
