+Welcome to STYL++ - a modern CSS preprocessor with an elegant, semicolon-based syntax that's intuitive, concise, and powerful.
+
+## Features
+
+✨ **Semicolon-Based Syntax** - Elegant indentation using leading semicolons  
+📦 **Variables** - Define reusable values across your styles  
+🔢 **Math Operations** - `width 100% - 40px;` → `calc(100% - 40px)`  
+🔄 **Loops** - Generate multiple rules with `for` loops  
+🎯 **Conditionals** - Responsive breakpoints and theme support with `@mobile`, `@dark`, etc.  
+🎨 **Nested Selectors** - Clean, hierarchical styling  
+⚡ **Zero Config** - Works out of the box  
+🌐 **Multiple Outputs** - Node.js, Browser, VS Code Extension, CLI  
+🎁 **Vendor Prefixes** - Automatic browser compatibility  
+📱 **Responsive Helpers** - `responsive()` and `fluid()` functions  
+
+### Advanced Physics-Based Features (Transcends CSS)
+
+🔬 **Physics Engine** - Real Verlet integration for physics-based layouts

+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install -g stylpp
+```
+
+### Create a STYL++ File
+
+Create `style.stylpp`:
+
+```stylpp
+variables;
+    primary #007bff;
+    spacing 16px;
+
+body;
+    font-family system-ui;
+    background white;
+
+    .container;
+        max-width 1200px;
+        margin 0 auto;
+        padding var(spacing);
+
+        h1;
+            color var(primary);
+            font-size 32px;
+```
+
+### Compile to CSS
+
+```bash
+stylpp compile style.stylpp style.css
+```
+
+This generates:
+
+```css
+body {
+  font-family: system-ui;
+  background: white;
+}
+body .container {
+  max-width: 1200px;
+  margin: 0 auto;
+  padding: 16px;
+}
+body .container h1 {
+  color: #007bff;
+  font-size: 32px;
+}
+```
+
+## Core Syntax
+
+### 1. Semicolon-Based Indentation
+
+Every line ends with a semicolon. Indentation is represented by leading semicolons:
+
+```stylpp
+; No semicolon means this is a comment
+
+body;
+    background white;
+    
+    ; One semicolon = one indent level
+    p;
+        color red;
+        
+        ; Two semicolons = two indent levels
+        span;
+            font-weight bold;
+```
+
+### 2. Variables
+
+Define variables in the `variables` section:
+
+```stylpp
+variables;
+    primary #007bff;
+    secondary #6c757d;
+    spacing 16px;
+    radius 4px;
+
+.button;
+    background var(primary);
+    padding var(spacing);
+    border-radius var(radius);
+```
+
+### 3. Math Operations
+
+Values with mathematical expressions are automatically wrapped in `calc()`:
+
+```stylpp
+.container;
+    width 100% - 40px;
+    height 300px + 50px;
+    padding var(spacing) * 2;
+    margin-left 50px / 2;
+```
+
+### 4. Nested Selectors
+
+Create hierarchical CSS with natural nesting:
+
+```stylpp
+.card;
+    background white;
+    padding 16px;
+    
+    .card-header;
+        font-size 20px;
+        font-weight bold;
+        
+    .card-body;
+        line-height 1.6;
+        
+        p;
+            margin 0 0 16px 0;
+```
+
+### 5. For Loops
+
+Generate repetitive rules:
+
+```stylpp
+for i in 1 to 5;
+    .column-{i};
+        width calc(100% / 5 * i);
+        margin-bottom 16px;
+
+for size in small, medium, large;
+    .text-{size};
+        font-size var({size}-font-size);
+```
+
+### 6. Conditionals and Media Queries
+
+Handle responsive design and themes:
+
+```stylpp
+.container;
+    width 100%;
+    
+    @mobile;
+        width 100%;
+        padding 8px;
+        
+    @tablet;
+        width 100%;
+        padding 12px;
+        
+    @desktop;
+        max-width 1200px;
+        margin 0 auto;
+        
+    @dark;
+        background #1e1e1e;
+        color white;
+```
+
+### 7. Responsive Helpers
+
+Built-in responsive sizing:
+
+```stylpp
+.container;
+    width responsive(300px, 1200px);
+    
+    ; Becomes: clamp(300px, 50vw + 100px, 1200px)
+
+.title;
+    font-size fluid(16px, 32px);
+    
+    ; Becomes: clamp(16px, 5vw, 32px)
+```
+
