 ### Advanced feature: blocklist
 
-In some cases, you may wish to suppress articles from being posted, even though they would otherwise match. You can do so by writing a new function, `check`, and placing it in a file named `blocklist.py` in the configuration directory. `check` takes an Article (and so has access to its `outlet`, `title`, and `url`) and should return `true` for any article that should be skipped.
+In some cases, you may wish to suppress articles from being posted, even though they would otherwise match. You can do so by writing two new functions, `check_article` and `check_paragraph`, and placing them in a file named `blocklist.py` in the configuration directory:
+- `check_article` takes an Article (and so has access to its `outlet`, `title`, and `url`) and should return `True` for any article that should be skipped in its entirety.
+- `check_paragraph` takes an Article and an individual matching paragraph and should return `True` for any paragraph that should be skipped (if other paragraphs match, the article will still be posted, but without the skipped paragraphs).
