+# Unindentable
+With Unindentable, you can write heredocs without worry of wonky indentation.
+## Motivation
+Heredocs are convenient.  But the indentation can bite you.  For example:
+    def hello
+      html = <<-BLOCK
+        <html>
+          <body>
+            <p>Hello</p>
+          </body>
+        </html>
+      BLOCK
+    end
+The problem is that you get extra indentation you probably don't want:
+    irb> hello
+    => "    <html>\n      <body>\n        <p>Hello</p>\n      </body>\n    </html>\n"
+One solution is to move your heredoc to the left margin:
+    def hello
+      html = <<-BLOCK
+    <html>
+      <body>
+        <p>Hello</p>
+      </body>
+    </html>
+      BLOCK
+    end
+So that you get the result you expect:
+    > hello
+    => "<html>\n  <body>\n    <p>Hello</p>\n  </body>\n</html>\n"
+But this doesn't look good in your source.  With Unindentable, you can write:
+    include Unindentable
+    def hello
+      html = unindent <<-BLOCK
+        <html>
+          <body>
+            <p>Hello</p>
+          </body>
+        </html>
+      BLOCK
+    end
+And get the nice unindented result you want:
+    > hello
+    => "<html>\n  <body>\n    <p>Hello</p>\n  </body>\n</html>\n"
+That's it.
