 .. cfunction:: PyObject* PyErr_Format(PyObject *exception, const char *format, ...)
 
-   This function sets the error indicator and returns *NULL*. *exception* should be
-   a Python exception (class, not an instance).  *format* should be a string,
-   containing format codes, similar to :cfunc:`printf`. The ``width.precision``
-   before a format code is parsed, but the width part is ignored.
-
-   .. % This should be exactly the same as the table in PyString_FromFormat.
-   .. % One should just refer to the other.
-   .. % The descriptions for %zd and %zu are wrong, but the truth is complicated
-   .. % because not all compilers support the %z width modifier -- we fake it
-   .. % when necessary via interpolating PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T.

-   An unrecognized format character causes all the rest of the format string to be
-   copied as-is to the result string, and any extra arguments discarded.
+   This function sets the error indicator and returns *NULL*.  *exception*
+   should be a Python exception class.  The *format* and subsequent
+   parameters help format the error message; they have the same meaning and
+   values as in :cfunc:`PyUnicode_FromFormat`.
