+=========================
+Extended view inheritance
+=========================
+
+This module was written to make it simple to add custom operators for view inheritance.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+.. image:: https://odoo-community.org/website/image/ir.attachment/5784_f2813bd/datas
+ :alt: Try me on Runbot
+ :target: https://runbot.odoo-community.org/runbot/149/9.0
+
+Change a python dictionary (context for example)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+
+ $new_value
+
+
+Note that views are subject to evaluation of xmlids anyways, so if you need to refer to some xmlid, say ``%(xmlid)s``.
+
+Move an element in the view
+---------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+
+
+This can also be used to wrap some element into another, create the target element first, then move the node youwant to wrap there.
+
+Known issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+* add ``$value``
+* add ``$index``
+* add ``$value``
+* support ````
+* support an ``eval`` attribute for our new node types
