+Request and ResultSet methods
+-----------------------------
+
+Those are methods you'll find on both request objects and on
+repository session.
+
+Request methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+`URL handling`:
+
+* `build_url(*args, **kwargs)`, returns an absolute URL based on the
+  given arguments. The *controller* supposed to handle the response,
+  can be specified through the first positional parameter (the
+  connection is theoretically done automatically :).
+
+`Data formatting`:
+
+* `format_date(date, date_format=None, time=False)` returns a string for a
+  date time according to instance's configuration
+
+* `format_time(time)` returns a string for a date time according to
+  instance's configuration
+
+`And more...`:
+
+* `tal_render(template, variables)`, renders a precompiled page template with
+  variables in the given dictionary as context
+
+
+Result set methods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* `get_entity(row, col)`, returns the entity corresponding to the data position
+  in the *result set*
+
+* `complete_entity(row, col, skip_bytes=True)`, is equivalent to `get_entity` but
+  also call the method `complete()` on the entity before returning it
