 preamble: |
   These are a collection of functions that mostly help converting from one type
   to another - generally from a `string` to something else, and vice-versa.
 funcs:
   - name: conv.Bool
     alias: bool
+    description: |
+      **Note:** See also [`conv.ToBool`](#conv-tobool) for a more flexible variant.
+
+      Converts a true-ish string to a boolean. Can be used to simplify conditional statements based on environment variables or other text input.

+        ```
   - name: conv.Default
     alias: default
+    description: |
+      Provides a default value given an empty input. Empty inputs are `0` for numeric
+      types, `""` for strings, `false` for booleans, empty arrays/maps, and `nil`.
+
+      Note that this will not provide a default for the case where the input is undefined
+      (i.e. referencing things like `.foo` where there is no `foo` field of `.`), but
+      [`conv.Has`](#conv-has) can be used for that.
