 To indent something like a definition (`defn`) you can do something like:
 
 ``` el
-(put-clojure-indent '>defn :defn)
+(put-clojure-indent '>defn '((:inner 0)))

 You can also specify different indentation settings for symbols
 prefixed with some ns (or ns alias):
 
 ```el
-(put-clojure-indent 'do 0)
-(put-clojure-indent 'my-ns/do 1)
+(put-clojure-indent 'do '((:block 0)))
+(put-clojure-indent 'my-ns/do '((:block 1)))

+**Note:** A legacy format using integers (e.g., `1`), keywords (`:defn`), and
+positional lists (e.g., `'(1 ((:defn)) nil)`) is also accepted for backward
+compatibility. It will be removed in clojure-mode 6.

-A backtracking indent spec is a **quoted list** where each element
-controls indentation at the corresponding argument position
-(0-indexed).  The allowed elements are:
-
-| Element | Meaning |
-|---------|---------|
-| An integer N | First N args are "special" (indented further); rest are body |
-| `:defn` | Indent like a function/macro body |
-| `:form` | Indent like a regular form |
-| `nil` | Use default indentation rules |
-| A list `(SPEC)` | This position holds a **list of forms**, each indented according to SPEC |
