-If you have @code{w3m} installed on your system, Gnus can display
-@acronym{HTML} articles in the article buffer. There are many Gnus
-add-ons for doing this, using various approaches, but there's one
-(sort of) built-in method that's used by default.

+Gnus can display @acronym{HTML} articles nicely formatted in the
+article buffer. There are many methods for doing that, but two of
+them are kind of default methods.
+
+If your Emacs copy has been built with libxml2 support, then Gnus uses
+Emacs' built-in, plain elisp Simple HTML Renderer @code{shr}
+@footnote{@code{shr} displays colors as declared in the @acronym{HTML}
+article but tries to adjust them in order to be readable. If you
+prefer more contrast, have a look at question 4.16 in the
+@xref{Frequently Asked Questions}.} which is also used by Emacs'
+browser EWW (@pxref{EWW, ,EWW, emacs, The Emacs Manual}).
+
+If your Emacs copy lacks libxml2 support but you have @code{w3m}
+installed on your system, Gnus uses that to render @acronym{HTML} mail
+and display the results in the article buffer (@code{gnus-w3m}).
+
+For a complete overview, consult @xref{Display Customization, ,Display
+Customization, emacs-mime, The Emacs MIME Manual}. This section only
+describes the default method.

-If set to @code{gnus-article-html}, Gnus will use the built-in method,
-that's based on @code{w3m}.
+If set to @code{shr}, Gnus uses its own simple @acronym{HTML}
+renderer. If set to @code{gnus-w3m}, it uses @code{w3m}.
