 How do layouts work?
 =========================
 
+termfair
+--------
+
+I do a lot of work on terminals. The common tiling algorithms usually
+maximize windows, so you'll end up with a terminal that has about 200
+columns or more. That's way too much. Have you ever read a manpage in a
+terminal of this size?
+
+This layout restricts the size of each window. Each window will have the
+same width but is variable in height. Furthermore, windows are
+left-aligned. The basic workflow is as follows (the number above the
+screen is the number of open windows, the number in a cell is the fixed
+number of a client):
+
+	     (1)                (2)                (3)
+	+---+---+---+      +---+---+---+      +---+---+---+

+	| 1 |   |   |  ->  | 2 | 1 |   |  ->  | 3 | 2 | 1 |  ->
+	|   |   |   |      |   |   |   |      |   |   |   |

+	+---+---+---+      +---+---+---+      +---+---+---+
+
+The first client will be located in the left column. When opening
+another window, this new window will be placed in the left column while
+moving the first window into the middle column. Once a row is full,
+another row above it will be created.
+
+Default number of columns and rows are respectively taken from `nmaster`
+and `ncol` values in `awful.tag`, but you can set your own.
+
+For example, this sets `termfair` to 3 columns and at least 1 row:
+
+    lain.layout.termfair.nmaster = 3
+    lain.layout.termfair.ncol = 1
+
+centerfair
+----------
+
+Similar to `termfair`, but with fixed number of vertical columns. Cols are centerded until there are `nmaster` columns, then windows are stacked as slaves, with possibly `ncol` clients per column at most.
