+\section1 Displaying Text in QML
+QML provides several elements to display text onto the screen. The \l Text
+element will display formatted text onto the screen, the \l TextEdit element
+will place a multiline line edit onto the screen, and the \l TextInput will
+place a single editable line field onto the screen.
+
+To learn more about their specific features and properties, visit their
+respective element documentation.
+
+\section1 Validating Input Text
+The \l {Validators}{validator} elements enforce the type and format of
+\l TextInput objects.
+
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/texthandling.qml int validator
+The validator elements bind to \c {TextInput}'s \c validator property.
+
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/texthandling.qml regexp validator
+The regular expression in the snippet will only allow the inputted text to be
+\c {fruit basket}.
+
+Note that QML parses JavaScript regular expressions, while Qt's
+\l {QRegExp} class' regular expressions are based on Perl regular expressions.
