+## This script is a template script for creating textual file previews in Joshuto.
+##
+## Copy this script to your Joshuto configuration directory and refer to this
+## script in `joshuto.toml` in the `[preview]` section like
+## ```
+## preview_script = "~/.config/joshuto/preview_file.sh"
+## ```
+## Joshuto will call this script for each file when first hovered by the cursor.
+## If this script returns with an exit code 0, the stdout of this script will be 
+## the file's preview text in Joshuto's right panel.
+## The preview text will be cached by Joshuto and only renewed on reload.
+## ANSI color codes are supported if Joshuto is build with the `syntax_highlight`
+## feature.
+##
 ## This script is considered a configuration file and must be updated manually.
-## It will be left untouched if you upgrade ranger.
-
-## Because of some automated testing we do on the script #'s for comments need
-## to be doubled up. Code that is commented out, because it's an alternative for
-## example, gets only one #.

 ## -----+------------+-------------------------------------------
 ## 0    | success    | Display stdout as preview
 ## 1    | no preview | Display no preview at all
-## 2    | plain text | Display the plain content of the file
-## 3    | fix width  | Don't reload when width changes
-## 4    | fix height | Don't reload when height changes
-## 5    | fix both   | Don't ever reload
-## 6    | image      | Display the image `$IMAGE_CACHE_PATH` points to as an image preview
-## 7    | image      | Display the file directly as an image
+##
+## This script is used only as a provider for textual previews.
+## Image previews are independent from this script.
