+# Feed Summary #
+This plugin allows article summaries to be used in ATOM and RSS feeds instead of the entire article. It uses the
+built-in pelican `Summary:` metadata.
+
+The summary of an article can either be set explicitly with the `Summary:` metadata attribute as described in the
+[pelican getting started docs](http://docs.getpelican.com/en/latest/getting_started.html#file-metadata),
+or automatically generated using the number of words specified in the
+[SUMMARY_MAX_LENGTH](http://docs.getpelican.com/en/latest/settings.html) setting.
+
+## Usage ##
+To use this plugin, ensure the following are set in your `pelicanconf.py` file:
+
+    PLUGIN_PATH = '/path/to/pelican-plugins'
+    PLUGINS = [
+		'feed_summary',
+		]
+    'FEED_USE_SUMMARY' = True
+
+The default value of `'FEED_USE_SUMMARY'` is `False`, so it must be set to `True` to enable the plugin, even if it is loaded.
+
+This plugin is written for pelican 3.3 and later.
+
+
+## Implementation Notes ##
+
+This plugin derives `FeedSummaryWriter` from the `Writer` class, duplicating code of the `Writer._add_item_to_the_feed` method.
+
+When the `initialized` signal is sent, it alternates the `get_writer` method of the `Pelican` object to use `FeedSummaryWriter` instead of `Writer`.
+
+A little hackish, but currently this can't be done otherwise via the regular plugin methods.
