-    \e Clocks demonstrates various QML and \l{Qt Quick} features such as
-    displaying custom components.
+    \e Clocks demonstrates using a ListView type to display data generated by a
+    ListModel. The delegate used by the model is specified as a custom QML type
+    that is specified in the Clock.qml file.
+
+    JavaScript methods are used to fetch the current time in several cities in
+    different time zones and QML types are used to display the time on a clock
+    face with animated clock hands.
 
     \include examples-run.qdocinc
 
+    \section1 Displaying Data Generated by List Models
+
+    In the clocks.qml file, we use a \l Rectangle type to create the application
+    main window:
+
+    \quotefromfile demos/clocks/clocks.qml
+    \skipto Rectangle
+    \printuntil color
+
+    We use a ListView type to display a list of the items provided by a
+    ListModel type:
+
+    \printuntil Los Angeles
+    \printuntil }
+    \printuntil }
+
+    List elements are defined like other QML types except that they contain a
+    collection of \e role definitions instead of properties. Roles both define
+    how the data is accessed and include the data itself.
+
+    For each list element, we use the \c cityName role to specify the name of a
+    city and the \c timeShift role to specify a time zone as a positive or
+    negative offset from UTC (coordinated universal time).
+
+    The Clock custom type is used as the ListView's \c delegate, defining the
+    visual appearance of list items. To use the Clock type, we add an import
+    statement that imports the folder called \c content where the type is
+    located:
+
+    \quotefromfile demos/clocks/clocks.qml
+    \skipto content
+    \printuntil "
+
+    We use an \l Image type to display arrows that indicate whether users can
+    flick the view to see more clocks on the left or right:
+
+    \quotefromfile demos/clocks/clocks.qml
+    \skipto Image
+    \printuntil /^\}/
+
+    We use the \c opacity property to hide the arrows when the list view is
+    located at the beginning or end of the x axis.
+
+    In Clock.qml, we define a \c timeChanged() function in which we use
+    methods from the JavaScript \c Date object to fetch the current time in
+    UTC and to adjust it to the correct time zone:
+
+   \quotefromfile demos/clocks/content/Clock.qml
+    \skipto timeChanged
+    \printuntil }
+
+    We use a \l Timer type to update the time at intervals of 100 milliseconds:
+
+    \printuntil }
+
+    We use \l Image types within an \l Item type to display the time on an
+    analog clock face. Different images are used for daytime and nighttime
+    hours:
+
+    \printuntil clock-night.png
+
+    A \l Rotation transform applied to \l Image types provides a way to rotate
+    the clock hands. The \c origin property holds the point that stays fixed
+    relative to the parent as the rest of the item rotates. The \c angle
+    property determines the angle to rotate the hands in degrees clockwise.
+
+    \printuntil center.png
+    \printuntil }
+
+    We use a \l Behavior type on the \c angle property to apply a
+    SpringAnimation when the time changes. The \c spring and \c damping
+    properties enable the spring-like motion of the clock hands, and a
+    \c modulus of \c 360 makes the animation target values wrap around at a
+    full circle.
+
+    We use a \l Text type to display the city name below the clock:
+
+    \printuntil }
