 (defn serve!
   "Main entrypoint to Clerk taking an configurations map.
 
-  Will obey the following optional configuration entries:
+  Options:
+  - `:host` for the webserver to listen on, defaulting to `\"localhost\"`
+  - `:port` for the webserver to listen on, defaulting to `7777`
+  - `:browse` will open Clerk in the default browser after it's been started
+  - `:watch-paths` that Clerk will watch for file system events and show any changed file
+  - `:show-filter-fn` to restrict when to re-evaluate or show a notebook as a result of file system event. Useful for e.g. pinning a notebook. Will be called with the string path of the changed file.
+  - `:paths`     - restricts serving to the given paths, supports glob patterns. Will disable Clerk's homepage when set.
+  - `:paths-fn`  - a symbol resolving to a 0-arity function returning computed paths.
+  - `:index`     - path to a file to override Clerk's default index, will be added to paths.
 
-  * a `:host` for the webserver to listen on, defaulting to `\"localhost\"`
-  * a `:port` for the webserver to listen on, defaulting to `7777`
-  * `:browse` will open Clerk in a browser after it's been started
-  * a sequence of `:watch-paths` that Clerk will watch for file system events and show any changed file
-  * a `:show-filter-fn` to restrict when to re-evaluate or show a notebook as a result of file system event. Useful for e.g. pinning a notebook. Will be called with the string path of the changed file.
+  When both `:paths` and `:paths-fn` are given, `:paths` takes precendence.
