 Format specifiers
 -----------------
 
-Format specifiers are not interpreted by the f-string parser. Just as
+Format specifiers may also contain evaluated expressions. This allows
+code such as::
+
+  >>> width = 10
+  >>> precision = 4
+  >>> value = decimal.Decimal('12.34567')
+  >>> f'result: {value:{width}.{prevision}}'
+  'result:      12.35'
+
+Once expressions in a format specifier are evaluated (if necessary),
+format specifiers are not interpreted by the f-string evaluator. Just as
 in str.format(), they are merely passed in to the __format__() method
 of the object being formatted.
