+For some widgets, `function` returns a `wibox.widget.textbox`, for others a table to be used for notification and update purposes.
 
 Every widget may take either a table or a list of variables as argument.

+If it takes a table, you have to define a function variable called `settings` in it, in order to make your customizations.
+
+To markup the textbox, call `widget:set_markup(...)` within `settings`.
+
+You can feed `set_markup` with predefined arguments, see the sections for all the details.
+
+`widget` is a textbox, so you can threat it like any other `wibox.widget.textbox`.
 
-I'll give an example: 
+Here follows an example: 
 
     mycpu = lain.widgets.cpu({
         timeout = 4,
         settings = function()
-            widgets:set_markup("Cpu " .. usage)
+            widget:set_markup("Cpu " .. usage)
         end
     })
