 Behavior when no tests failed in the last run
 ---------------------------------------------
 
-The ``--lfnf/--last-failed-no-failures`` option governs the behavior of ``--last-failed``.
-Determines whether to execute tests when there are no previously (known)
-failures or when no cached ``lastfailed`` data was found.
-
-There are two options:
-
-* ``all``:  when there are no known test failures, runs all tests (the full test suite). This is the default.
-* ``none``: when there are no known test failures, just emits a message stating this and exit successfully.
-
-Example:
+When no tests failed in the last run, or when no cached ``lastfailed`` data was
+found, ``pytest`` can be configured either to run all of the tests or no tests,
+using the ``--last-failed-no-failures`` option, which takes one of the following values:
 
 .. code-block:: bash
 
-    pytest --last-failed --last-failed-no-failures all    # runs the full test suite (default behavior)
-    pytest --last-failed --last-failed-no-failures none   # runs no tests and exits successfully
+    pytest --last-failed --last-failed-no-failures all    # run all tests (default behavior)

-As an alternative to ``--lf -x``, especially for cases where you expect a large part of the test suite will fail, ``--sw``, ``--stepwise`` allows you to fix them one at a time. The test suite will run until the first failure and then stop. At the next invocation, tests will continue from the last failing test and then run until the next failing test. You may use the ``--stepwise-skip`` option to ignore one failing test and stop the test execution on the second failing test instead. This is useful if you get stuck on a failing test and just want to ignore it until later.  Providing ``--stepwise-skip`` will also enable ``--stepwise`` implicitly.
