 :mod:`!xmlrpc` --- XMLRPC server and client modules
 ===================================================
 
+.. module:: xmlrpc
+   :synopsis: Server and client modules implementing XML-RPC.
+
 XML-RPC is a Remote Procedure Call method that uses XML passed via HTTP as a
 transport.  With it, a client can call methods with parameters on a remote
 server (the server is named by a URI) and get back structured data.
