[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: gnus
Version: 5.110018

For example, what's the difference between selecting gnus-w3m and
w3m?  The words in the descriptions are different, but it isn't clear
what they mean.

I've clarified the doc string slightly, but explaining the differences
between all the HTML renderers is outside the scope of that doc string.

Thanks!

Where would that explanation be in-scope?  The differences need to be
discoverable somehow.
