-Poetry supports arbitrary plugins which work similarly to
-[setuptools entry points](http://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html).
-To match the example in the setuptools documentation, you would use the following:
+Poetry supports arbitrary plugins, which are exposed as the ecosystem-standard [entry points](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/entry-points/) and discoverable using `importlib.metadata`. This is similar to (and compatible with) the entry points feature of `setuptools`.
+The syntax for registering a plugin is:
 
 ```toml
 [tool.poetry.plugins] # Optional super table
 
-[tool.poetry.plugins."blogtool.parsers"]
-".rst" = "some_module:SomeClass"
+[tool.poetry.plugins."A"]
+"B" = "C:D"
+```
+Which are:
+
+- `A` - type of the plugin, for example `poetry.plugin` or `flake8.extension`
+- `B` - name of the plugin
+- `C` - python module import path
+- `D` - the entry point of the plugin (a function or class)
+
+Example (from [`poetry-plugin-export`](http://github.com/python-poetry/poetry-plugin-export)):
+
+```toml
+[tool.poetry.plugins."poetry.application.plugin"]
+export = "poetry_plugin_export.plugins:ExportApplicationPlugin"
