-Rspamd composites are used to combine rules and create more complex rules.
-Composite rules are defined by `composite` keys. The value of this key should be

+## Composite expressions
You can use the following operations in a composite expression:
-* `AND` `&` - matches true only if both of operands are true
-* `OR` `|` - matches true if any of operands are true
+* `AND` `&` - matches true only if both operands are true
+* `OR` `|` - matches true if any operands are true
* `NOT` `!` - matches true if operand is false
-You also can use braces to define priorities. Otherwise operators are evaluated from left to right.

+## Composite weight rules
-Composites can leave the symbols in a metric or leave their weights. That could be used to create
-non-captive composites.
-For example, you have symbol `A` and `B` with weights `W_a` and `W_b` and a composite `C` with weight `W_c`.
+Composites can record symbols in a metric or record their weights. That could be used to create non-captive composites. For example, you have symbol `A` and `B` with weights `W_a` and `W_b` and a composite `C` with weight `W_c`.
* If `C` is `A & B` then if rule `A` and rule `B` matched then these symbols are *removed* and their weights are removed as well, leading to a single symbol `C` with weight `W_c`.
* If `C` is `-A & B`, then rule `A` is preserved, but the symbol `C` is inserted. The weight of `A` is preserved as well, so the total weight of `-A & B` will be `W_a + W_c`.
* If `C` is `~A & B`, then rule `A` is *removed* but its weight is *preserved*,
leading to a single symbol `C` with weight `W_a + W_c`
-When you have multiple composites which include the same symbol and some
-composites want to remove symbol and other want to preserve it then a symbol is
-preserved by default. Here are some more examples:
