The following is a list of hook variables that let you provide
-functions to be called from within Emacs on suitable occasions.
+functions to be called from within Emacs on suitable occasions.
Most of these variables have names ending with @samp{-hook}. They are
@dfn{normal hooks}, run by means of @code{run-hooks}. The value of such
-a hook is a list of functions. The recommended way to put a new
-function on such a hook is to call @code{add-hook}. @xref{Hooks}, for
-more information about using hooks.
+a hook is a list of functions; the functions are called with no
+arguments and their values are completely ignored. The recommended way
+to put a new function on such a hook is to call @code{add-hook}.
+@xref{Hooks}, for more information about using hooks.
-The variables whose names end in @samp{-function} have single functions
-as their values. Usually there is a specific reason why the variable is
-not a normal hook, such as the need to pass arguments to the function.
-(In older Emacs versions, some of these variables had names ending in
-@samp{-hook} even though they were not normal hooks.)
+The variables whose names end in @samp{-hooks} or @samp{-functions} are
+usually @dfn{abnormal hooks}; their values are lists of functions, but
+these functions are called in a special way (they are passed arguments,
+or their values are used). A few of these variables are actually normal
+hooks which were named before we established the convention that normal
+hooks' names should end in @samp{-hook}.
-The variables whose names end in @samp{-hooks} or @samp{-functions} have
-lists of functions as their values, but these functions are called in a
-special way (they are passed arguments, or else their values are used).
+The variables whose names end in @samp{-function} have single functions
+as their values. (In older Emacs versions, some of these variables had
+names ending in @samp{-hook} even though they were not normal hooks;
+however, we have renamed all of those.)
@c !!! need xref to where each hook is documented or else document it
@c by specifying what is expected, and when it is called relative to
