   Start or reset the relative timer.  By default, the timer is set
   to 0.  When called with a {{{kbd(C-u)}}} prefix, prompt the user for
-  a starting offset.  If there is a timer string at point, this is
-  taken as the default, providing a convenient way to restart taking
-  notes after a break in the process.  When called with a double
-  prefix argument {{{kbd(C-u C-u)}}}, change all timer strings in the
-  active region by a certain amount.  This can be used to fix timer
-  strings if the timer was not started at exactly the right moment.
