 A collection of template filters that implement common markup languages:
 
-    * ``textile`` -- implements `Textile`_
-    * ``markdown`` -- implements `Markdown`_
+    * ``textile`` -- implements `Textile`_ -- requires `PyTextile`_
+    * ``markdown`` -- implements `Markdown`_ -- requires `Python-markdown`_
     * ``restructuredtext`` -- implements `ReST (ReStructured Text)`_
+      -- requires `doc-utils`_
 
 In each case, the filter expects formatted markup as a string and returns a
 string representing the marked-up text. For example, the ``textile`` filter
 converts text that is marked-up in Textile format to HTML.
 
 To activate these filters, add ``'django.contrib.markup'`` to your
-:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting. Once you've done that, use ``{% load markup %}`` in
-a template, and you'll have access to these filters. For more documentation,
-read the source code in django/contrib/markup/templatetags/markup.py.
