+### Introduction
+
+This script will return 0 if a web page has changed. It tries to focus on the content parts of the page (using html2text) which might not be appropriate for all cases. Mainly it's useful for monitoring fairly static pages that don't provide RSS feeds. :-)
+
+
+### Installation
+
+    $ pip install -U -r requirements.txt
+
+
+### Usage
+
+    $ delta.py http://example.com/somepage.html
