+# Building
+The `wdown` command is built using the `go` tool.
+```bash
+go build
+```
+
+# Usage
+Once the executable has been built it can be used to convert a markdown document to html.
+
+```bash
+./wdown test.md
+```
+This will write the html to `stdout`. If you want a `.html` file you can do
+
+```bash
+./wdown test.md  > test.html
+```
+
+To use a tmeplate to wrap the produced html you can do
+```bash
+./wdown -tmpl test.tmpl test.md > test.htm
+```
