+#Clean Summary Plugin#
+
+Plugin to clean your summary of excess images. Images can take up much more
+space than text and lead to summaries being different sizes on archive and 
+index pages. With this plugin you can specify a maximum number of images that
+will appear in your summaries.
+
+There is also an option to include a minimum of one image.
+
+##Settings##
+
+plugin has two settings. `CLEAN_SUMMARY_MAXIMUM` which takes an int, and 
+`CLEAN_SUMMARY_MINIMUM_ONE` which takes a boolean. They deafult to 0 and False.
+
+`CLEAN_SUMMARY_MAXIMUM` sets the maximum number of images that will appear in 
+your summary.
+
+if `CLEAN_SUMMARY_MINIMUM_ONE` is set to `True` and your summary doesn't already
+contain an image, the plugin will add the first image in your article(if one 
+exists) to the beginning of the summary.
+
+##Requirements##
+
+requires Beautiful Soup
+
+    pip install BeautifulSoup4
+
+
+##Usage with Summary Plugin##
+
+if using the summary plugin, make sure summary appears in your plugins before
+clean summary. Eg.
+
+    PLUGINS = ['summary', 'clean_summary', ... ]
