-#' By default, openxlsx2 uses the American English word for color (written with 'o' instead of the British English 'ou').

+#' The `openxlsx2` package provides comprehensive functionality for interacting
+#' with Office Open XML spreadsheet files. Users can read data using [read_xlsx()]
+#' and write data to spreadsheets via [write_xlsx()], with options to specify
+#' sheet names and cell ranges for targeted operations. Beyond basic read/write
+#' capabilities, `openxlsx2` facilitates extensive workbook ([wb_workbook()])
+#' manipulations, including:
+#' * Loading a workbook into R with [wb_load()] and saving it with [wb_save()]
+#' * Adding/removing and modifying worksheets and data with [wb_add_worksheet()],

+#' ## Interaction
+#' Interaction with `openxlsx2` objects can occur through two primary methods:
+#'
+#' *Wrapper Function Method*: Utilizes the `wb` family of functions that support
+#'  piping to streamline operations.
+#' ``` r
+#' wb <- wb_workbook(creator = "My name here") %>%
+#'   wb_add_worksheet(sheet = "Expenditure", grid_lines = FALSE) %>%
+#'   wb_add_data(x = USPersonalExpenditure, row_names = TRUE)
+#' ```
+#' *Chaining Method*: Directly modifies the object through a series of chained
+#'  function calls.
+#' ``` r
+#' wb <- wb_workbook(creator = "My name here")$
+#'   add_worksheet(sheet = "Expenditure", grid_lines = FALSE)$
+#'   add_data(x = USPersonalExpenditure, row_names = TRUE)
+#' ```
+#'
+#' While wrapper functions require explicit assignment of their output to reflect
+#' changes, chained functions inherently modify the input object. Both approaches
+#' are equally supported, offering flexibility to suit user preferences. The
+#' documentation mainly highlights the use of wrapper functions. To find information,
+#' users should look up the wb function name e.g. `?wb_add_data_table` rather than
+#' searching for `?wbWorkbook`.
+#'
+#' Function arguments follow the snake_case convention, but for backward compatibility,
+#' camelCase is also supported at the moment. The API aims to maintain consistency
+#' in its arguments, with a special focus on `sheet` ([wb_get_sheet_names()]) and
+#' `dims` ([wb_dims]), which are of particular importance to users.
+#'
+#' ## Locale
+#'
+#' By default, `openxlsx2` uses the American English word for color (written with
+#' 'o' instead of the British English 'ou'). However, both spellings are supported.
 #' So where the documentation uses a 'color', the function should also accept a 'colour'.
