+## vim-argwrap ##
+
+This is an industrial strength argument wrapping and unwrapping extension for the [VIM](http://www.vim.org/) text
+editor. It can be used for collapsing and expanding everything from function calls to array and dictionary definitions.
+
+### Installation and Usage ###
+
+1. Clone or otherwise download the vim-argwrap extension from the [GitHub
+ page](https://github.com/FooSoft/vim-argwrap). If you are using
+ [vim-pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) for plugin management (if you aren't you should) you can
+ clone the repository directly to your bundle directory:
`git clone
+ https://github.com/FooSoft/vim-argwrap ~/.vim/bundle/vim-argwrap`.
+1. Create a keyboard binding for `argwrap#toggle()` inside your `~/.vimrc` file. For example, you may declare a normal
+ mode hotkey:
`nnoremap w :call argwrap#toggle()`.
+2. Position cursor *inside* of the scope of the parenthesis or brackets you wish to wrap/unwrap (not on top or before
+ or after them).
+3. Execute the keyboard binding defined above to *toggle* wrapping and unwrapping arguments.
+
+### Examples ###
+
+Below are examples of some common use cases demonstrating the capabilities of vim-argwrap. The extension functions the
+same way regardless if it is being used on a function call, list or dictionary definitions.
+
+Let's first look at a simple function invocation. When there are many arguments being passed in, we may wish to wrap
+them to improve readability. If we position your cursor anywhere between the `(` and `)` parenthesis and execute the
+`argwrap#toggle()` command, the function call arguments will be wrapped to one per line.
+
+```
+Foo('wibble', 'wobble', 'wubble')
+
+```
+```
+Foo(
+ 'wibble',
+ 'wobble',
+ 'wubble'
+)
+
+```
+
+List definitions work in a similar fashion:
+
+```
+foo = ['bar', 'baz', 'qux', 'quux', 'corge']
+```
+```
+foo = [
+ 'bar',
+ 'baz',
+ 'qux',
+ 'quux',
+ 'corge'
+]
+```
+
+Dictionaries work just fine too:
+
+```
+foo = {'bar': 1, 'baz': 3, 'qux': 3, 'quux': 7}
+```
+```
+foo = {
+ 'bar': 1,
+ 'baz': 3,
+ 'qux': 3,
+ 'quux': 7
+}
+```
+
+Finally, nested combinations of all the above are also supported:
+
+```
+Foo(['wibble', 'wobble', 'wubble'], 'spam', {'bar': 'baz', qux: [1, 3, 3, 7]})
+```
+```
+Foo(
+ ['wibble', 'wobble', 'wubble'],
+ 'spam',
+ {'bar': 'baz', 'qux': [1, 3, 3, 7]}
+)
+
+Foo(
+ [
+ 'wibble',
+ 'wobble',
+ 'wubble'
+ ],
+ 'spam',
+ {
+ 'bar': 'baz',
+ 'qux': [
+ 1,
+ 3,
+ 3,
+ 7
+ ]
+ }
+)
+
+```
+
+All of the above argument wrapping and unwrapping operations demonstrated above are toggle-able and correctly preserve
+the indentation of the surrounding code. This extension has been tested to work in scenarios of various complexity, but
+if you discover a problem let me know.
