+Input patterns
+==============
+
+This module was written to allow you to define a `regex <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression>`_ on character fields a user's input is tested against.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+To use this module, you need to:
+
+#. depend on this module
+#. define a key ``pattern`` in the field's options dictionary::
+
+       <field name="email" options="{'pattern': '[\S]+@[\S]+'}" />
+#. if you need `pattern modifiers <http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_regexp.asp>`_, use the key ``pattern_modifiers``
