+Pair style *coul/exclude* computes Coulombic interactions like *coul/cut*
+but **only** applies them to excluded pairs using a scaling factor
+of :math:`\gamma - 1.0` with :math:`\gamma` being the factor assigned
+to that excluded pair via the :doc:`special_bonds coul <special_bonds>`
+setting. With this it is possible to treat Coulomb interactions for
+molecular systems with :doc:`kspace style scafacos <kspace_style>`,
+which always computes the *full* Coulomb interactions without exclusions.
+Pair style *coul/exclude* will then *subtract* the excluded interactions
+accordingly. So to achieve the same forces as with ``pair_style lj/cut/coul/long 12.0``
+with ``kspace_style pppm 1.0e-6``, one would use
+``pair_style hybrid/overlay lj/cut 12.0 coul/exclude 12.0`` with
+``kspace_style scafacos p3m 1.0e-6``.

 Styles *coul/long* and *coul/msm* compute the same Coulombic
 interactions as style *coul/cut* except that an additional damping
 factor is applied so it can be used in conjunction with the
