 This macro adds convenience functionality to a custom type to serve 
 as a neural network layer, as a module, or as an entire model.
 
-The keyword `trainable` allows you to specify which fiels of you model can be trained, 
+The optional keyword `trainable` allows you to specify which fields of your model can be trained, 
 instead of assuming all `fieldnames(MyModel)` to trainable. 
 Note that it is never necessary to tell Flux to ignore non-array objects such as functions or sizes.
-This can be also done by defining [`trainable(::MyModel)`](@ref Optimisers.trainable) for your type.
+This can be also be done by defining [`trainable(::MyModel)`](@ref Optimisers.trainable) for your type.

+The macro also handles overloads of the 3-arg `show(::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", ::MyModel)` for pretty printing. 
+The optional argument `showtype` can take any of the following values:
 
-The macro also handles overloads of `show` for pretty printing. 
-It adds methods to `show(::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", ::MyModel)` to treat your layer much like `Dense` or `Chain`.
-To opt out of this, use `@layer :ignore MyModel`.
-In case, you probably still want to define 2-arg `show(::IO, ::MyModel)`, the macro does not touch this.
+- `:expand` (default): This will expand the representation of container types like `Chain`, 
+   while maintaining a compat representation of types like `Dense` containing only arrays.
+- `:noexpand`: This is to be used in case your type contains other layers but you want to keep the representation simple.
+- `:ignore`: To opt out of the pretty printing.

 Note that re-running the macro with different options may not remove all methods, you will need to restart.
