To me, text completion is well explained in the manual. Except for the definition of the icons, I couldn't find an explanation for them. I know of 4 different types of completions, maybe you could figure out what each means. The 4 types of completions that I know of are:

- document (terms from the current document)
- dictionary (words from dictionary)
- clippings (user-defined and default sets)
- html (built-in html completions)

Hmm, I just remembered a 5th, but they might be part of the 'document' group. Terms from a tags (ctags) file are also available for auto-completion.

And I just saw this in the manual; more canonical than my list above:

Completions are derived from a variety of sources, including (in no particular order):
    •clippings (both language-specific and universal);
•ctags symbols computed by running the current document through 'ctags'; •ctags symbols found in 'tags' files in the current document's hierarchy; •predefined names for the source code language at the point of completion;
    •language-specific completions;
    •dictionary words provided by the system spelling service

So, all the symbols in the completions menu should correlate to one of the above completion sources.
