+//! # Hashing and signing Matrix events
+//!
+//! Signing an event uses a more involved process than signing arbitrary JSON because events can be
+//! redacted and signatures need to remain valid even if data is removed from an event later.
+//! Homeservers are required to generate hashes of event contents and sign events before exchanging
+//! them with other homeservers. Although the algorithm for hashing and signing an event is more
+//! complicated than for signing arbitrary JSON, the interface to a user of ruma-signatures is the
+//! same:
+//!
+//! ```rust,no_run
+//! # use ruma_signatures::{self, KeyPair};
+//! # use serde_json;
+//! # let public_key = [0; 32];
+//! # let private_key = [0; 32];
+//! // Create an Ed25519 key pair.
+//! let key_pair = ruma_signatures::Ed25519KeyPair::new(
+//!     &public_key, // &[u8]
+//!     &private_key, // &[u8]
+//!     "1".to_string(), // The "version" of the key.
+//! ).unwrap();
+//! let mut value = serde_json::from_str(
+//!     r#"{
+//!         "room_id": "!x:domain",
+//!         "sender": "@a:domain",
