+* Configuring pressure advance results in extra extruder movement
+ during move acceleration and deceleration. That extra movement is
+ not further constrained by any other other configuration parameter.
+ The pressure advance settings only impact extruder movement; they do
+ not alter toolhead XYZ movement or look-ahead calculations. A change
+ in pressure advance will not change the path or timing of the
+ toolhead nor will it change the overall printing time.
