   <p>A desktop file is a text file with the .desktop extension which contains a

-  describing how a particular program is to be launched. The structure of a
-  desktop file takes the form of key/value pairs.</p>

-<p>Here is an example of a desktop file content:</p>
+  <p>There are three types of desktop entries: Application, Link, and Directory.</p>

 <code>
 [Desktop Entry]
-Type=Application
-Name=Files
-Exec=nautilus -n
-OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;
-AutostartCondition=GSettings org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons
+Type=<input>Application</input>
+Name= <input>Files</input>
+Exec=<input>nautilus -n</input>
+Categories= <input>GNOME;GTK;Utility;Core;</input>
+Keywords=<input>Files;Folders;Directories;Media;Storage;</input>
 </code>
 
-  <!--p>The desktop files are located in the <file>/usr/share/applications/</file>
-  directory.</p-->
+  <p>The <code>Exec</code> key stands for executable command. The value to match
+  it is the actual command by which you can start the application. You can also
+  supply one or more arguments of the command, such as <code>-n</code> in the
+  above example.</p>
+  <p>The <code>Categories</code> key specifies the category of a menu in which
+  the entry should be shown.</p>
+  <p>The <code>Keywords</code> key is a list of words which describe an
+  application. This list can be useful, for example, for easier searching for an
+  application in
+  <link xref="help:gnome-help/shell-terminology">Activities overview</link>.</p>
