 ## Custom `x-pattern-format` key and custom formats 
 
-In JSON Schema, `format` is a property to convey semantic information about a
-schema. We define `x-pattern-format` as a key on the schemas under
-`patternProperties` with the same use as `format`, but that applies to the
-pattern of the property. We also define custom values for formats with the `mx-`
-prefix in `data/custom-formats.yaml`. Those values are recognized in the
-rendered specification and link to the definition of the format.
