-In this case, the left edge of \e rect2 is bound to the right edge of \e rect1, producing the following:
+Each Item has two properties for each anchor line: one to bind from and one to bind to. The properties to bind
+from are contained in the \l{Item::}{anchors} attached property (seen as \c {anchors.left} above).
+The properties to bind to are normal properties (seen as \c {rect1.right} above).
+This way, each item can have several bindings to the same anchor line. Note that the properties to bind to are
+not visible in the documentation for Item.
+So in the example above, the left edge of \e rect2 is bound to the right edge of \e rect1, producing the following:

 Applying mirroring in this manner does not change the actual value of the relevant anchor,

 Note that application layouts and animations that are defined using \l {Item::}{x} property values (as
 opposed to anchors or positioner elements) are not affected by the \l LayoutMirroring attached property.
