+## Example
+
+```js
+var ui = require('cliui')()
+
+ui.div('Usage: $0 [command] [options]')
+
+ui.div({
+ text: 'Options:',
+ padding: [2, 0, 2, 0]
+})
+
+ui.div(
+ {
+ text: "-f, --file",
+ width: 20,
+ padding: [0, 4, 0, 4]
+ },
+ {
+ text: "the file to load." +
+ chalk.green("(if this description is long it wraps).")
+ ,
+ width: 20
+ },
+ {
+ text: chalk.red("[required]"),
+ align: 'right'
+ }
+)
+
+console.log(ui.toString())

+## Layout DSL
+
+cliui exposes a simple layout DSL:
+
+If you create a single `ui.row`, passing a string rather than an
+object:
+
+* `\n`: characters will be interpreted as new rows.
+* `\t`: characters will be interpreted as new columns.
+* `\s`: characters will be interpreted as padding.
+
+**as an example...**
+
+```js
+var ui = require('./')({
+ width: 60
+})
+
+ui.div(
+ 'Usage: node ./bin/foo.js\n' +
+ ' <regex>\t provide a regex\n' +
+ ' <glob>\t provide a glob\t [required]'
+)
+
+console.log(ui.toString())
+```
+
+**will output:**
+
+```shell
+Usage: node ./bin/foo.js
+ <regex> provide a regex
+ <glob> provide a glob [required]
+```
+
+## Methods
+
+```js
+cliui = require('cliui')
+```
+
+### cliui({width: integer})
+
+Specify the maximum width of the UI being generated.
+If no width is provided, cliui will try to get the current window's width and use it, and if that doesn't work, width will be set to `80`.
+
+### cliui({wrap: boolean})
+
+Enable or disable the wrapping of text in a column.
+
+### cliui.div(column, column, column)
+
+Create a row with any number of columns, a column
+can either be a string, or an object with the following
+options:
+
+* **text:** some text to place in the column.
+* **width:** the width of a column.
+* **align:** alignment, `right` or `center`.
+* **padding:** `[top, right, bottom, left]`.
+* **border:** should a border be placed around the div?
+
+### cliui.span(column, column, column)
+
+Similar to `div`, except the next row will be appended without
+a new line being created.
+
+### cliui.resetOutput()
+
+Resets the UI elements of the current cliui instance, maintaining the values
+set for `width` and `wrap`.
