 """
 13. Adding hooks before/after saving and deleting
 
-Django provides hooks for executing arbitrary code around ``save()`` and
-``delete()``. Just add any of the following methods to your model:
-
-    * ``_pre_save()`` is called before an object is saved.
-    * ``_post_save()`` is called after an object is saved.
-    * ``_pre_delete()`` is called before an object is deleted.
-    * ``_post_delete()`` is called after an object is deleted.
+To execute arbitrary code around ``save()`` and ``delete()``, just subclass
+the methods.
