+\title Presenting Data with Views
+
+Views are containers for collections of items. They are feature-rich and can be
+customizable to meet style or behavior requirements.
+
+\keyword qml-view-elements
+A set of standard views are provided in the basic set of Qt Quick
+graphical elements:
+
+\list
+\o \l{ListView} arranges items in a horizontal or vertical list
+\o \l{GridView} arranges items in a grid within the available space
+\o \l{PathView} arranges items on a path
+\o \l{WebView}{WebView} - available from the \l {QtWebKit QML Module}.
+\endlist
+Unlike other views, \l WebView is not a fully-featured view item, and needs
+to be combined with a \l Flickable item to create a view that performs like
+a Web browser.
+
+These elements have properties and behaviors exclusive to each element. Visit
+their respective documentation for more information.
+
+\section1 Models
+
+Views display \l{qml-data-models}{models} onto the screen. A model could be a simple list of \l{QML Data Models#An Integer}{integer} or a \l{qml-c++-models}{C++ model}.
+
+To assign a model to a view, bind the view's \c model property to a model.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/listview.qml model
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/listview.qml model
+
+For more information, consult the \l {QML Data Models} article.
+
+\keyword qml-view-delegate
+\section1 View Delegates
+
+Views need a \e delegate to visually represent an item in a list. A view will
+visualize each item list according to the template defined by the delegate.
+Items in a model are accessible through the \c index property as well as the
+item's properties.

+
+\section1 Decorating Views
+
+Views allow visual customization through \e decoration properties such as the \c header, \c footer, and \c section properties. By binding an object, usually
+another visual object, to these properties, the views are decoratable. A footer
+may include a \l Rectangle element showcasing borders or a header that displays
+a logo on top of the list.
+
+Suppose that a specific club wants to decorate its members list with its brand
+colors. A member list is in a \c model and the \c delegate will display the
+model's content.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/listview-decorations.qml model
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/listview-decorations.qml delegate
+
+The club may decorate the members list by binding visual objects to the
+\c header and \c footer properties. The visual object may be defined inline, in another file, or in a
+\l {Component} element.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/listview-decorations.qml decorations
+\image listview-decorations.png
+
+\section1 ListView Sections
+
+\l {ListView} contents may be grouped into \e sections, where related list items
+are labeled according to their sections. Further, the sections may be decorated
+with \l{qml-view-delegate}{delegates}.
+
+A list may contain a list indicating people's names and the team on which team
+the person belongs.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/listview-sections.qml model
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/listview-sections.qml delegate
+
+The ListView element has the \c section
+\l{Property Binding#Attached Properties}{attached property} that can combine
+adjacent and related elements into a section. The section's \c property
+property is for selecting which list element property to use as sections.
+The \c criteria can dictate how the section names are displayed and the
+\c delegate is similar to the views' \l {qml-view-delegate}{delegate} property.
