+    \class QPair
+    \brief The QPair class is a template class that stores a pair of items.
+
+    \ingroup tools
+    
+    QPair\<T1, T2\> can be used in your application if the STL \c
+    pair type is not available. It stores one value of type T1 and
+    one value of type T2. It can be used as a return value for a
+    function that needs to return two values, or as the value type of
+    a \l{generic container}.
+
+    Here's an example of a QPair that stores one QString and one \c
+    double value:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qpair.qdoc 0
+
+    The components are accessible as public data members called \l
+    first and \l second. For example:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qpair.qdoc 1
+
+    QPair's template data types (T1 and T2) must be \l{assignable
+    data types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
+    instead, store a QWidget *. A few functions have additional
+    requirements; these requirements are documented on a per-function
+    basis.
