+
+This module was written to make it simple to add custom operators for view
+inheritance.
+
+**Table of contents**
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+**Change a python dictionary (context for example)**
+
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <attribute name="$attribute" operation="python_dict" key="$key">
+        $new_value
+    </attribute>
+
+Note that views are subject to evaluation of xmlids anyways, so if you need
+to refer to some xmlid, say ``%(xmlid)s``.
+
+**Move an element in the view**
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <xpath expr="$xpath" position="move" target="$targetxpath" />
+
+This can also be used to wrap some element into another, create the target
+element first, then move the node youwant to wrap there.
+
+**Add to values in a list (states for example)**
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <attribute name="$attribute" operation="list_add">
+        $new_value(s)
+    </attribute>
+
+**Remove values from a list (states for example)**
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <attribute name="$attribute" operation="list_remove">
+        $remove_value(s)
+    </attribute>
+
+Known issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+* add ``<attribute operation="json_dict" key="$key">$value</attribute>``
+* support ``<xpath expr="$xpath" position="move" target="xpath" target_position="position" />``
+* support an ``eval`` attribute for our new node types
