yamllint version 0.5.1

The `pyyaml` dependency is needed in `install_requires` but also in
`setup_requires`, because running `setup.py` requires importing
`yamllint`, which itself imports `yaml`.

-# yamllint
-
-A linter for YAML files.
-
-[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/adrienverge/yamllint.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/adrienverge/yamllint)
-[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/adrienverge/yamllint/badge.svg?branch=master&service=github)](https://coveralls.io/github/adrienverge/yamllint?branch=master)
-
-Compatible with Python 2 & 3.
-
-## Usage
-
-```sh
-yamllint my_file.yml my_other_file.yaml ...
-```
-
-```sh
-yamllint -c ~/myconfig my_file.yml
-```
-
-```sh
-# To output a format parsable (by editors like Vim, emacs, etc.)
-yamllint -f parsable my_file.yml
-```
-
-## Installation
-
-```sh
-pip install yamllint
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-There is no documentation yet, so here is what you need to know: you can
-override some rules, disable them or pass them in *warning* (instead of
-*error*). Have a look at the content of `yamllint/conf/default.yml` and create
-your own configuration file.
-
-It could look like this:
-
-```yaml
-# This is my first, very own configuration file for yamllint!
-# It extends the default conf by adjusting some options.
-
-extends: default
-
-rules:
-  # 80 should be enough, but don't fail if a line is longer
-  line-length:
-    max: 80
-    level: warning
-
-  # accept both
-  #    key:
-  #      - item
-  # and
-  #    key:
-  #    - item
-  indentation:
-    indent-sequences: whatever
-
-  # don't bother me with this rule
-  comments-indentation: disable
-```
-
-Tip: if you have a `.yamllint` file in your working directory, it will be
-automatically loaded as configuration by yamllint.

+Configuration
+=============
+
+yamllint uses a set of *rules* to check sources files for problems. Each rule is
+independent from the others, and can be enabled, disabled or tweaked. All these
+settings can be gathered in a configuration file.
+
+To use a custom configuration file, either name it ``.yamllint`` in your working
+directory, or use the ``-c`` option:
+
+::
+
+ yamllint -c ~/myconfig file.yml
+
+Default configuration
+---------------------
+
+Unless told otherwise, yamllint uses its ``default`` configuration:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../yamllint/conf/default.yml
+   :language: yaml
+
+Details on rules can be found on :doc:`the rules page <rules>`.
+
+Extending the default configuration
+-----------------------------------
+
+When writing a custom configuration file, you don't need to redefine every rule.
+Just extend the ``default`` configuration (or any already-existing configuration
+file).
+
+For instance, if you just want to disable the ``comments-indentation`` rule,
+your file could look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ # This is my first, very own configuration file for yamllint!
+ # It extends the default conf by adjusting some options.
+
+ extends: default
+
+ rules:
+   comments-indentation: disable  # don't bother me with this rule
+
+Similarly, if you want to set the ``line-length`` rule as a warning and be less
+strict on block sequences indentation:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ extends: default
+
+ rules:
+   # 80 should be enough, but don't fail if a line is longer
+   line-length:
+     max: 80
+     level: warning
+
+   # accept both     key:
+   #                   - item
+   #
+   # and             key:
+   #                 - item
+   indentation:
+     indent-sequences: whatever
+
+Errors and warnings
+-------------------
+
+Problems detected by yamllint can be raised either as errors or as warnings.
+
+In both cases, the script will output them (with different colors when using the
+``standard`` output format), but the exit code can be different. More precisely,
+the script will exit will a failure code *only when* there is one or more
+error(s).

+Quickstart
+==========
+
+Installing yamllint
+-------------------
+
+First, install yamllint. The easiest way is to use pip, the Python package
+manager:
+
+::
+
+ sudo pip install yamllint
+
+If you prefer installing from source, you can run, from the source directory:
+
+::
+
+ python setup.py sdist
+ sudo pip install dist/yamllint-*.tar.gz
+
+Running yamllint
+----------------
+
+Basic usage:
+
+::
+
+ yamllint file.yml other-file.yaml
+
+You can also lint all YAML files in a whole directory:
+
+::
+
+ yamllint .
+
+The output will look like (colors are not displayed here):
+
+::
+
+ file.yml
+   6:2       warning  missing starting space in comment  (comments)
+   57:1      error    trailing spaces  (trailing-spaces)
+   60:3      error    wrong indentation: expected 4 but found 2  (indentation)
+
+ other-file.yml
+   1:1       warning  missing document start "---"  (document-start)
+   9:81      error    line too long (84 > 80 characters)  (line-length)
+   31:1      error    too many blank lines (4 > 2)  (empty-lines)
+   37:12     error    too many spaces inside braces  (braces)
+
+Add the ``-f parsable`` arguments if you need an output format parsable by a
+machine (for instance for :doc:`syntax highlighting in text editors
+<text_editors>`). The output will then look like:
+
+::
+
+ file.yml:6:2: [warning] missing starting space in comment (comments)
+ file.yml:57:1: [error] trailing spaces (trailing-spaces)
+ file.yml:60:3: [error] wrong indentation: expected 4 but found 2 (indentation)
+
+If you have a custom linting configuration file (see :doc:`how to configure
+yamllint <configuration>`), it can be passed to yamllint using the ``-c``
+option:
+
+::
+
+ yamllint -c ~/myconfig file.yml
+
+.. note::
+
+   If you have a ``.yamllint`` file in your working directory, it will be
+   automatically loaded as configuration by yamllint.

+Rules
+=====
+
+When linting a document with yamllint, a series of rules (such as
+``line-length``, ``trailing-spaces``, etc.) are checked against.
+
+A :doc:`configuration file <configuration>` can be used to enable or disable
+these rules, to set their level (*error* or *warning*), but also to tweak their
+options.
+
+This page describes the rules and their options.

+Integration with text editors
+=============================
+
+Most text editors support syntax checking and highlighting, to visually report
+syntax errors and warnings to the user. yamllint can be used to syntax-check
+YAML source, but a bit of configuration is required depending on your favorite
+text editor.
+
+Vim
+---
+
+Assuming that the `syntastic <https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic>`_ plugin
+is installed, add to your ``.vimrc``:
+
+::
+
+ TODO
+
+Neovim
+------
+
+Assuming that the `neomake <https://github.com/benekastah/neomake>`_ plugin is
+installed, add to your ``.config/nvim/init.vim``:
+
+::
+
+ if executable('yamllint')
+   let g:neomake_yaml_yamllint_maker = {
+     \ 'args': ['-f', 'parsable'],
+     \ 'errorformat': '%E%f:%l:%c: [error] %m,%W%f:%l:%c: [warning] %m' }
+   let g:neomake_yaml_enabled_makers = ['yamllint']
