+=====
+Usage
+=====
+
+First run
+=========
+After installing CurlyTx and restarting Enigma2, open the main menu.
+The first entry will be "CurlyTx" - activate it.
+
+You will see the main window with the message
+"Go and add a page in the settings".
+Do just that end press the red button to access the settings window.
+
+Now we'll add the first URL:
+
+- Press the yellow button ("New"); the "page edit" window will show up
+- Enter the page URL, e.g. http://ip.cweiske.de
+- If you wish, enter a page title, e.g. "My IP"
+- Set the text size if you want. 20 is a good default value.
+- Press the green button ("OK"), and you are back on the settings window.
+- The page you have just created is in the configuration list now.
+
+
+If you made a mistake and want to change it, select the page with the
+up/down buttons and press "OK" - the page edit window will open.
+
+Press the green button and the settings will be saved.
+You're back on the main window now and the URL you just configured will be loaded.
+
+Note that with version 1.1, CurlyTx supports opening local files.
+Prepend them with ``file://``, e.g. ``file:///tmp/test.txt``.
+
+
+Adding many pages
+=================
+You can use the settings window to add new pages, but this gets tedious if you
+want to add many pages.
+
+It's better to use the Atom feed import in this case.
+All you need is a text editor and a web server you can serve the feed page with.
+
+Here is an example feed::
+
+
+
+ URL list for CurlyTx
+
+ Christian Weiske
+ cweiske@cweiske.de
+
+
+
+ ip
+ My IP
+
+
+
+ temp
+ House temperatures
+
+
+
+
+Start CurlyTx, go to the settings and write the feed URL in the
+"Page feed URL" field.
+Then press "OK" and the feed's pages will be loaded into the settings window.
+
+
+Local configuration file
+========================
+CurlyTx looks for a local page feed file on the harddisk on every run,
+at ``/etc/enigma2/curlytx-pagefeed.xml``.
+If this file exists, it gets loaded unconditionally and overwrites
+the current page configuration.
+
+
+Disable settings
+================
+The page feed file may contain a tag that disables the settings button.
+By using it, you can prevent people from modifying the CurlyTx settings.
+
+First, register the namespace::
+
+
+
+Then, add the setting after the author or self link::
+
+ 0
+Here is the example feed with disabled settings::

Translation
@@ -34,9 +157,72 @@ Replace ``$lang_code`` with your two-letter language code::
$ ./compile.sh
+Editing an existing translation
+-------------------------------
+Simply run ::
+
+ $ cd po
+ $ ./update.sh
+
+This will update the translation template ``messages.pot`` from the source code

Building
========
-ipkg-build:
+First upgrade the version number in ``CONTROL/control``.
+
+Then simply run ::
+
+ ./build.sh
+
+Directory ``releases/`` will contain the freshly baked ``.ipk`` file that can
+then be transferred to your dreambox, e.g. via ``scp``::
+
+ $ scp releases/enigma2-plugin-extensions-curlytx_2.3_mipsel.ipk dreambox:
+ $ ssh dreambox
+ $ ipkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-curlytx_2.3_mipsel.ipk
