 Ignoring delimiters in comments and strings
 -------------------------------------------
 
+Delimiters highlighted as comments or strings are ignored by default, try
+`<Enter>*=` for the following lines.
+
 ```c
+
 /* a */ b = c
 aa >= bb
 // aaa = bbb = cccc
 /* aaaa = */ bbbb   === cccc   " = dddd = " = eeee
 aaaaa /* bbbbb */      == ccccc /* != eeeee = */ === fffff
+
+```
+
+Aligning in-line comments
+-------------------------
+
+```ruby
+apple = 1 # comment not aligned
+banana = "string" # comment 2
+```
+
+So, how do we align the trailing comments in the above lines?
+Simply try `<Enter>-<space>`! The spaces in the comments are ignored, so the
+trailing comment in each line is considered to be a single chunk.
+
+But this doesn't work in the following case.
+
+```ruby
+apple = 1 # comment not aligned
+apricot = 'A#B'
+banana = 'string' # comment 2
+```
+
+The second line doesn't have trailing comment, and *the last space* is the one
+before `'A#B'`. So we define a custom mapping for `#`
+
+```vim
+if !exists('g:easy_align_delimiters')
+  let g:easy_align_delimiters = {}
+endif
+let g:easy_align_delimiters['#'] = { 'pattern': '#\+', 'ignores': ['String'] } }
+```
+
+Notice that the rule overrides `ignores` attribute in order *not* to ignore
+delimiters highlighted as comments. Then we try `<Enter>#`, to get
+
+```ruby
+apple = 1         # comment not aligned
+apricot = 'A#B'
+banana = 'string' # comment 2
 ```

 ### Extending alignment rules
 
+Although the default predefined rules should cover the most of the use cases,
+you can extend the rules by setting a dictionary named `g:easy_align_delimiters`.
+Each entry in the dictionary can have the following attributes.
+
+| Atrribute        | Type    | Default               |
+| ---------------- | ------- | --------------------- |
+| pattern          | regexp  |                       |
+| margin_left      | string  | `' '`                 |
+| margin_right     | string  | `' '`                 |
+| stick_to_left    | boolean | 0                     |
+| ignore_unmatched | boolean | 1                     |
