@@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ Anki uses a modified version of Pystache to provide Mustache-like syntax.
 Behaviour is a little different from standard Mustache:
 
 - {{text}} returns text verbatim with no HTML escaping
-- {{{text}}} strips an outer span tag
+- {{{text}}} does the same and exists for backwards compatibility
 - partial rendering is disabled for security reasons
 - certain keywords like 'cloze' are treated specially
