+## Note on README
+
+Most of the readme is automatically copied from the crate documentation by [cargo-readme-sync][].
+This way the readme is always in sync with the docs and examples are tested.
+
+So if you find a part of the readme you'd like to change between `<!-- cargo-sync-readme start -->`
+and `<!-- cargo-sync-readme end -->` markers, don't edit `README.md` directly, but rather change
+the documentation on top of `src/lib.rs` and then synchronize the readme with:
+```bash
+cargo sync-readme
+```
+(make sure the cargo command is installed):
+```bash
+cargo install cargo-sync-readme
