+Import and export
+=================
+
+The classes in this section can be viewed as the points of entry for initiating
+import or export processes.
+
+The :cpp:class:`~orcus::spreadsheet::import_factory` class wraps
+:cpp:class:`~orcus::spreadsheet::document` as its destination storage then
+gets passed to an import filter class that parses the content of an input file
+and populates the destination document store.
+
+The :cpp:class:`~orcus::spreadsheet::import_styles` class works similarly to
+:cpp:class:`~orcus::spreadsheet::import_factory` in that it wraps
+:cpp:class:`~orcus::spreadsheet::styles` as its destination storage then gets
+passed to a styles import parser in order to get the destination store
+populated.  Although this class is used by
+:cpp:class:`~orcus::spreadsheet::import_factory` internally, it can also be
+instantiated independently to allow loading of just the styles data.
+
+The :cpp:class:`~orcus::spreadsheet::export_factory` also works in a similar
+fashion, however; the export functionality of the orcus library is currently
+very limited and should be considered experimental.  It is currently only used
+by :cpp:class:`~orcus::orcus_xml` to export the content of a document which
+was originally imported from an XML document.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   The export functionality of the orcus library is highly experimental.
