+DESCRIPTION:
+
+An emacs mode to help editing Coq vernacular files.
+
+AUTHOR:
+
+Jean-Christophe Filliatre (jcfillia@lri.fr),
+	from the Caml mode of Xavier Leroy.
+
+CONTENTS:
+
+    coq.el         A major mode for editing Coq files in Gnu Emacs
+
+USAGE:
+
+Add the following lines to your .emacs file:
+
+(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.v$" . coq-mode) auto-mode-alist))
+(autoload 'coq-mode "coq" "Major mode for editing Coq vernacular." t)
+
+The Coq major mode is triggered by visiting a file with extension .v,
+or manually by M-x coq-mode. It gives you the correct syntax table for
+the Coq language, and also a rudimentary indentation facility:
+
+- pressing TAB at the beginning of a line indents the line like the line above
+
+- extra TABs increase the indentation level (by 2 spaces by default)
+
+- M-TAB decreases the indentation level.
