+smartfs
+=======
+
+This mod provides a 2nd generation way of creating forms - this means that the modder does not need to worry about complex formspec strings
+
+* Expandable: you can register your own elements to use on the form.
+* Easy event handling: use binding to handle events.
+* New elements: Includes a toggle button
+
+License: WTFPL
+To install this library, place the smartfs.lua file in your mod and then include it (dofile).
+There is an init.lua file in the download that shows you how to do this.
+
+#Using Smart Formspec
+Smartfs provides 2nd generation Minetest forms to replace clunky formspec strings. Each smartfs form is a container filled with GUI elements. A number of default elements are included with smartfs, but modders can also define their own custom elements. This document describes the basic usage of the smartfs API.
+
+##Installation
+Smartfs can be used as a library or a mod.
+
+To use smartfs as a library, copy the smartfs.lua file to your mod folder and add
+    dofile(minetest.get\_modpath(minetest.get\_current\_modname()).."/smartfs.lua")
+to the top of any files that use it.
+
+To use smartfs as a mod, add it to your game's mods folder or to the user mods folder and enable it.
+
+## Creating and showing forms
+A form is a rectangular area of the screen upon which all elements are placed. Use the smartfs.create() function to create a new form. This function takes two arguments and returns a form object.
+
+The first argument is a unique string that identifies the form. The second argument is a function that should take a single argument called state which is used to set form properties like size and background color. State also has constructors for all form elements and can be used with state:element_name. Below is a quick example.
+
+    myform = smartfs.create("My Form",function(state)
+        --sets the form's size
+        -- (width, hieght)
+        state:size(5,5)
+
+        --creates a label and places it on the form
+        --(x-pos, y-pos, name, text)
+        state:label(3,3,"label1", "A label!")
+    end)
+
+Forms can be shown to the player by using the show(target) function. The target argument is the name of the player that will see the form.
+
+    myform:show("singleplayer")
+
+Here is a list of steps the library takes.
+* You create a new form using smartfs.create().
+* The form is registered and stored for later use.
+* You show a form to a player using the myform:show()
+* The state is created and stored.
+* The function in smartfs.create runs and creates the elements.
+* The form is displayed to the player.
+
+## Modifying Elements
+Elements have functions of the form element:function(args) where you need to have access to the element object.
+
+You can get the element object by assigning a variable to its creation function like so:
+
+    local button1 = state:button(0,0, 1,4, "btn1", "A button")
+    --button1 is now a table representing the button
+
+You can also get the element by using state:get(name). The example below will retrieve a button with the name "btn1":
+
+    button1 = state:get("btn1")
+    --or
+    state:get("btn1"):onClick(your\_onclick\_function
+
+Both of these methods should be used inside the form creation callback function, the function you pass to smartfs.create, or in event callbacks.
+
+Now that you have located your element you can modify it.
+
+    button1:setPos(4,0)
+
+## Inventory Support
+Smartfs supports adding a button to Inventory+ or Unified Inventory which will open one of your own custom forms. Use the smartfs.add\_to\_inventory(form, icon, title) function where form is the smartfs form linked to by the button, icon is the button image (only for unified inventory), and title is the button text (only for inventory+).
+
+    smartfs.add_to_inventory(form, icon, title)
+
+## Dynamic forms
+Dynamic forms allow you to make a form without having to register it before the game finished loading.
+
+    local state = smartfs.dynamic("smartfs:dyn_form", name)
+    state:load(minetest.get_modpath("smartfs").."/example.smartfs")
+    state:get("btn"):click(function(self,state)
+    	print("Button clicked!")
+    end)
+    state:show()
+
+Make sure you call state:show()
