+Black Friday
+============
+
+This is an implementation of John Gruber's [markdown][1] in [Go][2].
+It is a translation of the [upskirt][3] library written in C with a
+few minor changes. It retains the paranoia of the original (it is
+careful not to trust its input, and as such it should be safe to
+feed it arbitrary user-supplied inputs). It also retains the
+emphasis on high performance, and the source is almost as ugly as
+the original.
+
+HTML output is currently supported, along with Smartpants
+extensions.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Assuming you have recent version of Go installed, along with git:
+
+    goinstall github.com/russross/blackfriday
+
+will download, compile, and install the package into
+`$GOROOT/src/pkg/github.com/russross/blackfriday`.
+
+Check out `example/main.go` for an example of how to use it. Run
+`gomake` in that directory to build a simple command-line markdown
+tool:
+
+    cd $GOROOT/src/pkg/github.com/russross/blackfriday
+    gomake markdown
+
+will build the binary `markdown` in the `example` directory.
+
+
+Extensions
+----------
+
+In addition to the extensions offered by upskirt, this package
+implements two additional Smartypants options:
+
+*   LaTeX-style dash parsing, where `--` is translated into
+    `–`
+*   Generic fractions, where anything that looks like a fraction
+    is translated into suitable HTML (instead of just a few special
+    cases). For example, `4/5` becomes `<sup>4</sup>&frasl;<sub>5</sub>`
+
+
+Todo
+----
+
+*   Code cleanup
+*   Better code documentation
+*   Implement a LaTeX backend
