- * The syntax for specifying border images of this kind is:
- * <literallayout>url(@path) @top @right @bottom @left [repeat|stretch]? [repeat|stretch]?</literallayout>
- * The sizes of the 'cut off' portions are specified
- * with the @top, @right, @bottom and @left parameters.
- * The 'middle' sections can be repeated or stretched to create
- * the desired effect, by adding the 'repeat' or 'stretch' options after
- * the dimensions. If two options are specified, the first one affects

+ * The sizes specified by the @top, @right, @bottom and @left parameters

+ * [stretch|repeat|round|space]</literallayout>
+ * Specifies how the image slices should be rendered in the area
+ * outlined by border-width.
+ * The default (stretch) is to resize the slice to fill in the whole 
+ * allocated area.
+ * If the value of this property is 'repeat', the image slice
+ * will be tiled to fill the area.
+ * If the value of this property is 'round', the image slice will
+ * be tiled to fill the area, and scaled to fit it exactly
+ * a whole number of times.
+ * If the value of this property is 'space', the image slice will
+ * be tiled to fill the area, and if it doesn't fit it exactly a whole
+ * number of times, the extra space is distributed as padding around 
+ * the slices.
+ * If two options are specified, the first one affects
  * the horizontal behaviour and the second one the vertical behaviour.
  * If only one option is specified, it affects both.
