-This package provides a minor mode `annotate-mode`, which can add annotations 
to arbitrary files without changing the files themselves. This is very useful 
for code reviews. When `annotate-mode` is active, `C-c C-a` will create, edit, 
or delete annotations. 
-
-![example-screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastibe/annotate.el/master/example.png)
-
-With an active region, `C-c C-a` creates a new annotation for that region. 
With no active region, `C-c C-a` will create an annotation for the word under 
point. If point is on an annotated region, `C-c C-a` will edit that annotation 
instead of creating a new one. Clearing the annotation deletes them.
-
-Use `C-c ]` to jump to the next annotation and `C-c [` to jump to the previous 
annotation.
-
-All annotations are saved in `annotate-file` (`~/.annotations` by default).
-
-Annotations can be exported `annotate-export-annotations` as commented unified 
diffs, like this:
-
-![diff-example-screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastibe/annotate.el/master/diff-example.png)
-
-Alternatively, they can be integrated `annotate-integrate-annotations` as 
comments into the current buffer, like this:
-
-![integrate-example-screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastibe/annotate.el/master/integrate-example.png)
-
-### Incompatibilities:
-
-- annotations in org-mode source blocks will be underlined, but the 
annotations don't show up. This is likely a fundamental incompatibility with 
the way source blocks are highlighted and the way annotations are displayed.
-
-This package is released under the MIT license.

+
+* introduction
+
+This  package provides  a minor  mode ~annotate-mode~,  which can  add
+annotations   to   arbitrary   files  without   changing   the   files
+themselves. This is very useful for code reviews. When ~annotate-mode~
+is active, ~C-c C-a~ will create, edit, or delete annotations.
+
+[[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastibe/annotate.el/master/example.png]]
+
+* Usage
+
+** Quick start
+
+With an  active region, ~C-c  C-a~ creates  a new annotation  for that
+region. With no active region, ~C-c C-a~ will create an annotation for
+the word  under point. If point  is on an annotated  region, ~C-c C-a~
+will edit that annotation instead of  creating a new one. Clearing the
+annotation deletes them.
+
+Use ~C-c ]~ to jump to the next  annotation and ~C-c [~ to jump to the
+previous annotation.
+
+** Metadata
+
+All  annotations are  saved  in  ~annotate-file~ (~~/.annotations~  by
+default).
+
+Users of
+[[https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering][no-littering]]
+can take advantage of its packages generated files management.
+
+**** related customizable variable
+     - ~annotate-file~
+
+** keybindings
+
+*** ~C-c  C-a~
+    creates  a new annotation  for that
+    region. With no active region, ~C-c C-a~ will create an annotation for
+    the word  under point. If point  is on an annotated  region, ~C-c C-a~
+    will edit that annotation instead of  creating a new one. Clearing the
+    annotation deletes them.
+
+**** related customizable variable
+     - ~annotate-highlight~;
+     - ~annotate-highlight-secondary~;
+     - ~annotate-annotation~;
+     - ~annotate-annotation-secondary~;
+     - ~annotate-annotation-column~;
+     - ~annotate-annotation-max-size-not-place-new-line~;
+     - ~annotate-annotation-position-policy~.
+
+*** ~C-c ]~
+    Jump to the next  annotation.
+
+*** ~C-c [~
+    Jump to the previous annotation.
+
+*** ~C-c C-s~
+    Show  summary window.   A window  with a  list of  annotated files
+    together     with    their     annotations     is    shown.      If
+    ~annotate-summary-ask-query~ is  non nil  (default is ~t~)  then a
+    prompt is  shown where the  user can insert  a query to  filter the
+    annotation database, see [[Query Language]].
+
+    The summary window allow editing  and removing of annotation using
+    the provided buttons.
+
+    The annotation text can be pressed  to and will open the annotated
+    file,  placing  the cursor  at  the  point where  the  corresponding
+    annotated text appears.
+
+**** related customizable variable
+     - ~annotate-summary-ask-query~.
+
+* Exporting
+
+Annotations can be exported ~annotate-export-annotations~ as commented
+unified diffs, like this:
+
+[[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastibe/annotate.el/master/diff-example.png]]
+
+Alternatively, they can be integrated ~annotate-integrate-annotations~
+as comments into the current buffer, like this:
+
+[[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastibe/annotate.el/master/integrate-example.png]]
+
+**** related customizable variable
+     - ~annotate-integrate-marker~
+     - ~annotate-diff-export-context~
+     - ~annotate-integrate-higlight~
+     - ~annotate-fallback-comment~
+
+* More documentation
+
+ Please check ~M-x customize-group RET annotate~ as there is
+ extensive documentation for each customizable variable.
+
+* BUGS
+
+** Known bugs
+
+   annotations in org-mode source blocks will be underlined, but the
+   annotations don't show up. This is likely a fundamental
+   incompatibility with the way source blocks are highlighted and the
+   way annotations are displayed.
+
+** Report bugs
+
+   To report bugs please, point your browser to the
+   [[https://github.com/bastibe/annotate.el/issues][issue tracker]].
+
+* Query Language
+
+  The summary window can shows  results filtered by criteria specified
+  with a very simple query language, the basis syntax for that language
+  is shown below:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC text
+ [file-mask] (and | or) [not] regex-note (and | or) [not] regexp-note ...
+#+END_SRC
+
+where
+
+  - file-mask :: is a regular expression that should match the path of file
+    the annotation refers to;
+  - and, or, not :: you guess? Classics logical operators;
+  - regex-note :: the text of annotation must match this regular expression.
+
+** Examples
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC text
+  lisp$ and TODO
+#+END_SRC
+
+   matches the text ~TODO~ in all lisp files
+
+Parenthesis can be used for the expression related to the text of
+annotation, like this:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC text
+ lisp$ and (TODO or important)
+#+END_SRC
+
+   the same as above but checks also for string `important'
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC text
+ /home/foo/
+#+END_SRC
+   matches all the annotation that refers to file in the directory
+   ~/home/foo~
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC text
+ /home/foo/ and not minor
+#+END_SRC
+
+   matches all the annotation that refers to file in the directory
+   ~/home/foo~ and that not contains the text ~minor~.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC text
+ .* and "not"
+#+END_SRC
+ the ~"~ can be used to escape strings.
+
+As a shortcut, an empty query will match everything (just press
+~return~ at prompt).
