+README for wxLayout classes
+---------------------------
+
+All the source in this directory is copyrighted under the
+GPL (GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE), version 2,
+by Karsten Ballueder <ballueder@usa.net>.
+
+
+This is still work in progress, so if you want to make any significant
+changes, please get in touch with me before.
+
+There are three building blocks for rich text editing:
+
+wxllist :
+
+The wxLayoutList layout engine. It is a linked list of wxLayoutObjects
+which can arrange and display them on any wxDC. I am trying to keep
+this class as simple as possible, to be just the core layout
+engine. All "convenience" functions should be defined in classes built 
+on top of this.
+The wxLayoutList is derived from kbList, a double-linked list with an
+interface modelled after the STL list. As wxLayoutList depends on the
+way kbList treats iterators (i.e. the iterator value after an insert() 
+or erase() operation), I don't feel like rewriting it for wxList.
+
+wxlwindow :
+
+Contains a class wxLayoutWindow, derived from wxScrolledWindow which
+can directly be used as a rich-text display or editing window. The
+function responsible for keyboard handling is virtual and can be
+overloaded for different keybindings. wxLayoutWindow can sent fake
+menu-events to the application to react to the user clicking on
+objects.
+
+wxlparser:
+
+Contains several high level functions operating on
+wxLayoutList. Currently implemented is inserting of text (including
+linebreaks) and export of objects, text or html.
+Planned for the future is an html parser for importing html.
+
+
+wxLayout.cpp is a simple test program. It will export Text and HTML to
+stdout and demonstrate some of the features and bugs of wxLayoutList.
+
+There are still things to do and I'm working on them. :-)
