 ## Development
 
 After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

+# Customization
+
+To set up customized printing for your own classes, you need to define the `report_print` instance method.
+
+When you then go to print the object, the method you defined will be called passing in a ReportPrint::Printer instance that you can use to print things.
+
+The printer is composed of the following 4 methods:
+
+* ReportPrint::Printer#multiline
+* ReportPrint::Printer#inline
+* ReportPrint::Printer#write
+* ReportPrint::Printer#rp
+
+The `multiline` and `inline` methods modify the behaviour of the `write` method to enable you to specify how elements are joined and lines are separated.
+
+The `rp` method simply calls the `report_print` method of the specified object passing in the printer.
+
+## `multiline`
+
+The `multiline` method creates a new multiline context and executes the provided block within it, resetting the printer context back at the end of the block.
+
+Inside a multiline context each call to `write` will write its output on a new line indented as per the current indent level.
+
+If you specify a `separator` for the multiline context, then that will be written before the newline on every line except the first line of the multiline context.
+
+At the end of a multiline context the content of `after` is written into the outer context, unless `after_empty` is false and nothing was written inside the context.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+class ::Array < ::Object
+  def report_print(rp)
+    rp.write("[")
+    rp.multiline(after: "]", separator: ",") do
+      to_a.each do |item|
+        rp.rp(item)
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+In this example we also see the outline of the common pattern intended for when you are putting delimiters around a block. You write the opening token manually, but rely on the `after:` keyword argument to write the closing token.
+
+The value passed to `after:` will be written without any separator before it. This pattern allows us to do the above safely without wrapping things in an extra `inline` block to prevent a separator being placed before the `"]"`.
+
+## `inline`
+
+The `inline` method creates a new inline context and executes the provided block within it, resetting the printer context back at the end of the block.
+
+When an inline context is placed within a multiline context we will say that it defines a `line`.
+
+For each line the first call to `write` behaves the same as one in the containing multiline context.
+
+Within an inline context the `inline_separator` defines a sequence to be written between two writes in that context.
+
+When inline contexts are nested the rules are applied such that all of the writes within a child context are treated as one write for the purposes of joining.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+rp.inline("+") do
+  rp.inline("-") do
+    rp.write(1)
+  end
+  rp.inline("/") do
+    rp.write(2)
+  end
+end
+
+# => "1+2"
+
+rp.inline("+") do
+  rp.inline("-") do
+    rp.write(1)
+    rp.write(2)
+  end
+  rp.inline("/") do
+    rp.write(3)
+    rp.write(4)
+  end
+end
+
+# => "1-2+3/4"
+```
+
+## Writing Defensively
+
+When creating a `report_print` method it is very important to be explicit about how you want the text to be written.
+
+**You cannot safely assume anything about the outer context.**
+
+Thus if you want items to be rendered on the same line you always need to enclose them in an `inline` context. Same goes for multiple lines and a multiline context.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+# Bad: assumes that it is in an inline context with a blank inline_separator
+def report_print(rp)
+  rp.write("Item")
+  rp.write("[")
+  rp.multiline(after: "]", separator: ",") do
+    each do |sub_item|
+      rp.rp(sub_item)
+    end
+  end
+end
+
+# Good: sets up an inline context
+def report_print(rp)
+  rp.inline("") do
+    rp.write("Item")
+    rp.write("[")
+    rp.multiline(after: "]", separator: ",") do
+      each do |sub_item|
+        rp.rp(sub_item)
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Only use Separators for Separators
+
+Separators are only written between two writes, so you probably don't want to use them for some things that feel like separators but don't have that same property.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+class Assignment
+  # Bad: if @rhs is empty we probably still want to render an =.
+  # Otherwise users won't be able to tell that it is an assignment being
+  # printed.
+  def report_print(rp)
+    rp.inline(" = ") do
+      rp.rp(@lhs)
+      rp.rp(@rhs) if @rhs
+    end
+  end
+
+  # Better
+  def report_print(rp)
+    rp.inline(" ") do
+      rp.rp(@lhs)
+      rp.write("=")
+      rp.rp(@rhs) if @rhs
+    end
+  end
+end
+```

+
+See ReportPrint::Dsl#rp for the documentation of the global `rp` method.
+
+## Features
+
+ReportPrint comes with custom printers for the following standard library classes:
+
+* `Object`
+* `Module`
+* `Array`
+* `Hash`
+* `Set`
+* `Data`
+* `Struct`
+
+In addition it will produce colorized `inspect` output for the following classes:
+
+* `Symbol`
+* `String`
+* `Numeric`
+* `TrueClass`
+* `FalseClass`
+* `NilClass`
+
+See the page on Formatters for examples of each.
+
+### Customization
+
+Similarly to PrettyPrint you can define the `report_print` method on a class to customize the rendering of instances of that class.
+
+    class Production
+      attr_accessor :left, :right
+
+      def report_print(rp)
+        rp.inline(" ") do
+          rp.rp(left)
+          rp.write("=>")
+          right.each do |token|
+            rp.rp(token)
+          end
+        end
+      end
+    end
+
+See Customization for a guide on how to use the various methods provided by the `rp` object above.
+
+See ReportPrint::Printer for the API documentation of printer object.
+
+### Design
+
+The printed output intentionally avoids the standard inspect format of `#<Object:0x000078c7430fd6c8>` in favour of relying primarily on line breaks and indentation to delimit the start and end of objects.
+
+Similarly a conscious choice was made not to attempt any kind of midline alignment like `ap` does. Midline alignment may sometimes be pretty but it pays a substantial readability penalty for it.
