 \modulesynopsis{\UNIX{} shell style filename pattern matching.}
 
 
+\index{filenames!wildcard expansion}
+
 This module provides support for \UNIX{} shell-style wildcards, which
 are \emph{not} the same as regular expressions (which are documented
 in the \refmodule{re}\refstmodindex{re} module).  The special
 characters used in shell-style wildcards are:
-\index{filenames!wildcard expansion}
 
-\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin 0.5in \labelwidth 0.45in}
-\item[\code{*}] matches everything
-\item[\code{?}]	matches any single character
-\item[\code{[}\var{seq}\code{]}] matches any character in \var{seq}
-\item[\code{[!}\var{seq}\code{]}] matches any character not in \var{seq}
-\end{list}
+\begin{tableii}{c|l}{code}{Pattern}{Meaning}
+  \lineii{*}{matches everything}
+  \lineii{?}{matches any single character}
+  \lineii{[\var{seq}]}{matches any character in \var{seq}}
+  \lineii{[!\var{seq}]}{matches any character not in \var{seq}}
+\end{tableii}
 
 Note that the filename separator (\code{'/'} on \UNIX{}) is \emph{not}
 special to this module.  See module
 \refmodule{glob}\refstmodindex{glob} for pathname expansion
-(\refmodule{glob} uses \function{fnmatch()} to match filename

+(\refmodule{glob} uses \function{fnmatch()} to match pathname
+segments).  Similarly, filenames starting with a period are
+not special for this module, and are matched by the \code{*} and
+\code{?} patterns.
 
 
 \begin{funcdesc}{fnmatch}{filename, pattern}
 Test whether the \var{filename} string matches the \var{pattern}
 string, returning true or false.  If the operating system is
 case-insensitive, then both parameters will be normalized to all
-lower- or upper-case before the comparision is performed.  If you
-require a case-sensitive comparision regardless of whether that's
+lower- or upper-case before the comparison is performed.  If you
+require a case-sensitive comparison regardless of whether that's
 standard for your operating system, use \function{fnmatchcase()}
 instead.
 \end{funcdesc}
 
 \begin{funcdesc}{fnmatchcase}{filename, pattern}
 Test whether \var{filename} matches \var{pattern}, returning true or
-false; the comparision is case-sensitive.
