+Aligning C-style variable definition
+------------------------------------
+
+Take the following example:
+
+```c
+const char* str = "Hello";
+int64_t count = 1 + 2;
+static double pi = 3.14;
+```
+
+We can align these lines with the predefined `=` rule. Select the lines and
+press `<Enter>=`
+
+```c
+const char* str  = "Hello";
+int64_t count    = 1 + 2;
+static double pi = 3.14;
+```
+
+Not bad. However, the names of the variables, `str`, `count`, and `pi` are not
+aligned with each other. Can we do better? We can clearly see that simple
+`<Enter><space>` won't properly align those names.
+So let's define an alignment rule than can handle this case.
+
+```vim
+let g:easy_align_delimiters['d'] = {
+\ 'pattern': '\(const\|static\)\@<! ',
+\ 'left_margin': 0, 'right_margin': 0
+\ }
+```
+
+This new rule aligns text around spaces that are *not* preceded by
+`const` or `static`. Let's try it with `<Enter>d`.
+
+```c
+const char*   str = "Hello";
+int64_t       count = 1 + 2;
+static double pi = 3.14;
+```
+
+Okay, the names are now aligned. We select the lines again with `gv`, and then
+press `<Enter>=` to finish our alignment.
+
+```c
+const char*   str   = "Hello";
+int64_t       count = 1 + 2;
+static double pi    = 3.14;
+```
+
+So far, so good. However, this rule is not sufficient to handle more complex
+cases involving C++ templates or Java generics. Take the following example:
+
+```c
+const char* str = "Hello";
+int64_t count = 1 + 2;
+static double pi = 3.14;
+static std::map<std::string, float>*    scores = pointer;
+```
+
+We see that our rule above doesn't work anymore.
+
+```c
+const char*                  str = "Hello";
+int64_t                      count = 1 + 2;
+static double                pi = 3.14;
+static std::map<std::string, float>*    scores = pointer;
+```
+
+So what do we do? Let's try to improve our alignment rule.
+
+```vim
+let g:easy_align_delimiters['d'] = {
+\ 'pattern': ' \(\S\+\s*[;=]\)\@=',
+\ 'left_margin': 0, 'right_margin': 0
+\ }
+```
+
+Now the new rule has changed to align text around spaces that are followed
+by some non-whitespace characters and then an equals sign or a semi-colon.
+Try `<Enter>d`
+
+```c
+const char*                          str = "Hello";
+int64_t                              count = 1 + 2;
+static double                        pi = 3.14;
+static std::map<std::string, float>* scores = pointer;
+```
+
+We're right on track, now press `gv<Enter>=` and voila!
+
+```c
+const char*                          str    = "Hello";
+int64_t                              count  = 1 + 2;
+static double                        pi     = 3.14;
+static std::map<std::string, float>* scores = pointer;

+### Concept of _alignment rule_
+
+An *alignment rule* is a predefined set of options for common alignment tasks,
+which is identified by a single character, *DELIMITER KEY*, such as `<space>`,
+`=`, `:`, `.`, `|`, and `,`.
+
+Think of it as a shortcut. Instead of writing regular expression and setting
+several options, you can just type in a single character.

+For example, if you want to align text around all occurrences of numbers:
+
+- `<Enter>`
+- `*`
+- `<CTRL-/>` (or `<CTRL-X>` on GVim)
+  - `[0-9]\+`
+
+#### Alignment options in interactive mode
+
+While in interactive mode, you can set alignment options using special shortcut
+keys listed below. The meaning of each option will be described in
+[the following sections](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-easy-align#alignment-options).
+
+| Key       | Option             | Values                                             |

+| `CTRL-R`  | `right_margin`     | Input number or string                             |
+| `CTRL-D`  | `delimiter_align`  | left, center, right                                |
+| `CTRL-U`  | `ignore_unmatched` | 0, 1                                               |
+| `CTRL-G`  | `ignore_groups`    | [], ['String'], ['Comment'], ['String', 'Comment'] |
+| `CTRL-O`  | `mode_sequence`    | Input string of `/[lrc]+\*{0,2}/`                  |
+| `<Left>`  | `stick_to_left`    | `{ 'stick_to_left': 1, 'left_margin': 0 }`         |
+| `<Right>` | `stick_to_left`    | `{ 'stick_to_left': 0, 'left_margin': 1 }`         |
+| `<Down>`  | `*_margin`         | `{ 'left_margin': 0, 'right_margin': 0 }`          |
+
+After a successful alignment, you can repeat the same operation using the
+repeatable, non-interactive command recorded in `g:easy_align_last_command`.
+
+```vim
+:<C-R>=g:easy_align_last_command<Enter><Enter>

+### Aligning delimiters of different lengths
+
+Global `g:easy_align_delimiter_align` option and rule-wise/command-wise
+`delimiter_align` option determines how matched delimiters of different lengths
+are aligned.
+
+```ruby
+apple = 1
+banana += apple
+cake ||= banana
+```
+
+By default, delimiters are right-aligned as follows.
+
+```ruby
+apple    = 1
+banana  += apple
+cake   ||= banana
+```
+
+However, with `:EasyAlign=dl`, delimiters are left-aligned.
+
+```ruby
+apple  =   1
+banana +=  apple
+cake   ||= banana
+```
+
+And on `:EasyAlign=dc`, center-aligned.
+
+```ruby
+apple   =  1
+banana +=  apple
+cake   ||= banana
+```
+
+In interactive mode, you can change the option value with `CTRL-D` key.
+
+### Adjusting indentation
+
+By default :EasyAlign command keeps the original indentation of the lines. But
+then again we have `indentation` option. See the following example.
+
+```ruby
+# Lines with different indentation
+  apple = 1
+    banana = 2
+      cake = 3
+        daisy = 4
+     eggplant = 5
+
+# Default: _k_eep the original indentation
+#   :EasyAlign=
+  apple       = 1
+    banana    = 2
+      cake    = 3
+        daisy = 4
+     eggplant = 5
+
+# Use the _s_hallowest indentation among the lines
+#   :EasyAlign=is
+  apple    = 1
+  banana   = 2
+  cake     = 3
+  daisy    = 4
+  eggplant = 5
+
+# Use the _d_eepest indentation among the lines
+#   :EasyAlign=id
+        apple    = 1
+        banana   = 2
+        cake     = 3
+        daisy    = 4
+        eggplant = 5
+
+# Indentation: _n_one
+#   :EasyAlign=in
+apple    = 1
+banana   = 2
+cake     = 3
+daisy    = 4
+eggplant = 5
+```
+
+Notice that `idt` is fuzzy-matched to `indentation`.
+
+In interactive mode, you can change the option value with `CTRL-I` key.
+
+### Alignments over multiple occurrences of delimiters
+
+As stated above, "N-th" parameter is used to target specific occurrences of
+the delimiter when it appears multiple times in each line.
+
+To recap:
+
+```vim
+" Left-alignment around the FIRST occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign =
+
+" Left-alignment around the SECOND occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign 2=
+
+" Left-alignment around the LAST occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign -=
+
+" Left-alignment around ALL occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign *=
+
+" Left-right ALTERNATING alignment around all occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign **=
+
+" Right-left ALTERNATING alignment around all occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign! **=
+```
+
+In addition to these, you can fine-tune alignments over multiple occurrences of
+the delimiters with 'mode_sequence' option. (The option can also be set
+in interactive mode with the special key `CTRL-O`)
+
+```vim
+" Left alignment over the first two occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign = { 'mode_sequence': 'll' }
+
+" Right, left, center alignment over the 1st to 3rd occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign = { 'm': 'rlc' }
+
+" Using shorthand notation
+:EasyAlign = mrlc
+
+" Right, left, center alignment over the 2nd to 4th occurrences of delimiters
+:EasyAlign 2=mrlc
+
+" (*) Repeating alignments (default: l, r, or c)

+Related work
+------------
+
+There are two well-known plugins with the same goal as that of vim-easy-align.
+
+- [DrChip's Alignment Tool for Vim](http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/align.html) (herein will be referred to as "Align")
+- [Tabular](https://github.com/godlygeek/tabular)
+
+Both are great plugins with very large user bases. I actually had been a Tabular
+user for a couple of years before I finally made up my mind to roll out my own.
+
+So why would someone choose vim-easy-align over those two?
+
+Feature-by-feature comparison I believe is not quite useful, since a typical
+user will end up using only a small subset of the features.
+So I will mention just a few core benefits of vim-easy-align.
+
+### Ease of use
+
+As the name implies, vim-easy-align is *easier* to use. Its interactive mode
+allows you to achieve what you want with just a few keystrokes.
+The key sequence is mnemonic, so it's easy to remember and execute.
+It even feels like a native Vim command!
+
+- *Right-align*: `<Enter><Enter>`
+- around the *second* occurrences: `2`
+- of *whitespaces*: `<space>`
+
+For the simplest cases, Tabular and Align are also easy to use. But sooner or
+later, you will find yourself scratching your head, trying to come up with some
+complex regular expressions.
+
+_"How am I going to align the third to the last word in each line to the right
+without affecting the ones before it?"_
+
+### Clean
+
+vim-easy-align doesn't clutter your workspace with mappings and global
+variables. All you would need is a single mapping to the interactive EasyAlign
+command, and even that is totally up to you.
+
+### Optimized for code editing
+
+vim-easy-align by default performs syntax-aware alignment, which is invaluable
+when editing codes.
+
+Try to come up with a regular expression to correctly format the following code
+snippet. With vim-easy-align under default configuration and a mapping, it can
+be done with just two keystrokes: `<Enter>:`
+
+```javascript
+var jdbc = {
+  // JDBC driver for MySQL database:
+  driver: "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver",
+  /* JDBC URL for the connection (jdbc:mysql://HOSTNAME/DATABASE) */
+  url: 'jdbc:mysql://localhost/test',
+  database: "test",
+  "user:pass":"r00t:pa55"
+};
+```
+
+(To be fair, Align also can be configured to consider syntax highlighting with
+`g:AlignSkip` function reference which should point to a custom function that
+looks up the syntax group of a character on a certain position)
+
+### "Okay. So should I switch?"
+
+Maybe, but I can't really say. I have no ambition to make vim-easy-align
+an absolute superior to the others. For some cases, vim-easy-align works better
+than the others, but for some other cases, Tabular or Align.vim might be a
+better choice.
+
+So try it yourself and see if it works for you!
