+the symbol at point highlighted.
+
+The functions @code{highlight-symbol-next}, @code{highlight-symbol-prev},
+@code{highlight-symbol-next-in-defun} and
+@code{highlight-symbol-prev-in-defun} allow for cycling through the locations
+of any symbol at point.  Use @code{highlight-symbol-nav-mode} to enable key
+bindings @code{M-p} and @code{M-p} for navigation.  When
+@code{highlight-symbol-on-navigation-p} is set, highlighting is triggered
+regardless of @code{highlight-symbol-idle-delay}.
+
+@code{highlight-symbol-query-replace} can be used to replace the symbol. ")
