 # FindTIFF
 # --------
 #
-# Find TIFF library
+# Find the TIFF library (libtiff).
 #
-# Find the native TIFF includes and library This module defines
+# Imported targets
+# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 #
-# ::
+# This module defines the following :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` targets:
 #
-#   TIFF_INCLUDE_DIR, where to find tiff.h, etc.
-#   TIFF_LIBRARIES, libraries to link against to use TIFF.
-#   TIFF_FOUND, If false, do not try to use TIFF.
+# ``TIFF::TIFF``
+#   The TIFF library, if found.
 #
-# also defined, but not for general use are
+# Result variables
+# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 #
-# ::
+# This module will set the following variables in your project:
 #
-#   TIFF_LIBRARY, where to find the TIFF library.
+# ``TIFF_FOUND``
+#   true if the TIFF headers and libraries were found
+# ``TIFF_INCLUDE_DIR``
+#   the directory containing the TIFF headers
+# ``TIFF_INCLUDE_DIRS``
+#   the directory containing the TIFF headers
+# ``TIFF_LIBRARIES``
+#   TIFF libraries to be linked
+#
+# Cache variables
+# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+#
+# The following cache variables may also be set:
+#
+# ``TIFF_INCLUDE_DIR``
+#   the directory containing the TIFF headers
+# ``TIFF_LIBRARY``
+#   the path to the TIFF library
