 ### Wrapping
 
-Before we describe a few responders, we note that it is typical for responders
-to _wrap_ other responders. That is, responders can be of the following form,
-where `R` is some type that implements `Responder`:
+Responders compose by _wrapping_ (encapsulating) other responders. Naturally, we
+call these _wrapping_ responders. A wrapping responder takes a response from an
+existing responder `R`, modifies it, and then returns it. They typically have
+the following shape:
 
 ```rust
 struct WrappingResponder<R>(R);
 ```
 
-A wrapping responder modifies the response returned by `R` before responding
-with that same response. For instance, Rocket provides `Responder`s in the
-[`status` module](@api/master/rocket/response/status/) that override the status code of
-the wrapped `Responder`. As an example, the [`Accepted`] type sets the status to
+Examples include `Responder`s in the [`status` module], which override the
+status code of the wrapped `Responder`'s response, and `Responder`s in the
+[`content` module], which override the Content-Type.

+As a concrete example, the [`Accepted`] wrapping responder sets the status to
 `202 - Accepted`. It can be used as follows:

-Similarly, the types in the [`content` module](@api/master/rocket/response/content/)
-can be used to override the Content-Type of a response. For instance, to set the
-Content-Type of `&'static str` to JSON, as well as setting the status code to an
-arbitrary one like `418 I'm a teapot`, combine [`content::RawJson`] with
-[`status::Custom`]:
+Because wrapping responders are themselves responders, they too can be wrapped.
+This is what allows responders to compose, enabling powerful combinations of
+simple primitives to form more powerful abstractions. For example, combining the
+[`content::RawJson`] and [`status::Custom`] responders allows creating a
+response with a Content-Type of JSON and an arbitrary status code like `418 I'm
+a teapot` from an `&'static str`:

-For pithy reusability, it is advisable to derive a [custom responder]:
+Composition through wrapping is useful when you want to change one or two
