+### Introduction
+
+[Config::General](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Config-General/)   is  a
+Perl   module   for   parsing   config  files   with   some   enhanced
+features. [config-general-mode](https://github.com/TLINDEN/config-general-mode)
+makes it easier to edit such config files with emacs.
+
+It is based on `conf-mode` with the following features:
+
+- good syntax highlighting for config files
+- completion support with <kbd><tab></kbd> (using `dabbrev`)
+- imenu support for `<blocks>`
+- electric paring mode (for quotes, parens, etc) enabled
+- automatic indenting
+- jump to include file with <kbd><ret></kbd>
+
+### Installation
+
+To use, save config-general-mode.el to a directory in your load-path.
+
+Add something like this to your config:
+
+    (require 'config-general-mode)
+    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.conf$" . config-general-mode))
+
+or load it manually, when needed:
+
+    M-x config-general-mode
+    
+You can also enable it with  a buffer-local variable by adding this as
+the first line of a config file:
+
+    # -*-config-general-*-
+    
+### Customize
+
+You can customize the mode with:
+
+     M-x customize-group RET config-general-mode RET
+
+You can also use hooks to config-general  mode as a way to modify or enhance
+its behavior.  The following hooks are available:
+
+    config-general-mode-hook
+    
+For example:
+
+    (add-hook 'config-general-mode-hook 'electric-indent-mode)
