   <title>Exceptions</title>
 
   <para>
    PHP 5 has an exception model similar to that of other programming languages.
-   An exception can be thrown, try and caught within PHP. A Try block must
-   include at least one catch block. Multiple catch blocks can be used to
-   catch different classtypes; execution will continue after that last catch
-   block defined in sequence. Exceptions can be thrown within catch blocks.
+   An exception can be <literal>throw</literal>n, and caught
+   ("<literal>catch</literal>ed") within PHP. Code may be surrounded in a
+   <literal>try</literal> block, to facilitate the catching of potential
+   exceptions. Each <literal>try</literal> must have at least one
+   corresponding <literal>catch</literal> block. Multiple
+   <literal>catch</literal> blocks can be used to catch different classes of
+   exeptions. Normal execution (when no exception is thrown within the
+   <literal>try</literal> block, or when a <literal>catch</literal> matching
+   the thrown exception's class is not present) will continue after that last 
catch
+   block defined in sequence. Exceptions can be <literal>throw</literal>n (or
+   re-thrown) within a <literal>catch</literal> block.
   </para>
   <para>
    When an exception is thrown, code following the statement will not be
-   executed and PHP will attempt to find the first matching catch block. If an
-   exception is not caught a PHP Fatal Error will be issued with an Uncaught
-   Exception message, unless there has been a handler defined with
-   <function>set_exception_handler</function>.
