 ==== Convert Fields to Objects Using Custom Converters
 
+This example defines and uses a custom field converter
+that converts each column-1 value to a \Rational object.
+
+Define a custom field converter:
+  rational_converter = proc do |field, field_context|
+    field_context.index == 1 ? field.to_r : field
+  end
+
+Without the new converter:
+  string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
+  array = CSV.parse(string)
+  array # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"]]
+
+With the new converter:
+  array = CSV.parse(string, converters: rational_converter)
+  array # => [["foo", (0/1)], ["bar", (1/1)], ["baz", (2/1)]]
+
+You can also register a custom field converter, then refer to it by name:
+  CSV::Converters[:rational] = rational_converter
+  array = CSV.parse(string, converters: :rational)
+  array # => [["foo", (0/1)], ["bar", (1/1)], ["baz", (2/1)]]
+
+==== Filter Field Strings
+
+This example defines and uses a custom field converter
+that strips whitespace from each field value.
+
 Define a custom field converter:
   strip_converter = proc {|field| field.strip }
