+    |  Syntax iterators are functions that compute views of a #[code Doc]
+    |  object based on its syntax. At the moment, this data is only used for
+    |  extracting
+    |  #[+a("/docs/usage/dependency-parse#noun-chunks") noun chunks], which
+    |  are available as the #[+api("doc#noun_chunks") #[code Doc.noun_chunks]]
+    |  property. Because base noun phrases work differently across languages,
+    |  the rules to compute them are part of the individual language's data. If
+    |  a language does not include a noun chunks iterator, the property won't
+    |  be available. For examples, see the existing syntax iterators:
+
++aside-code("Noun chunks example").
+    doc = nlp(u'A phrase with another phrase occurs.')
