+<h1>About this Application</h1>
+<p>
+ This application is a online SQL formatting tool.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Basically it's a playground for a Python module to parse and format
+ SQL statements. Sometimes it's easier to combine the available
+ options and to see the resulting output using a web front-end than
+ on the command line ;-)
+</p>
+<p>
+ To get started, enter a SQL statement in the text box on the top,
+ choose some options and click on &quot;Format SQL&quot; (Ctrl+F)
+ to see the result.
+</p>
+<p>
+ <em>Note:</em> The SQL formatter and parser is in an early stage
+ of development. If you're looking for a mature tool, try one of
+ <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=online+sql+formatter">these</a>.
+</p>
+<h2>Using it from the Command Line</h2>
+<p>
+ There are three ways to use this SQL formatter from the command line:
+</p>
+<ol>
+ <li>Grab the <a href="/source/">sources</a> and use the module in your
+ Python scripts.</li>
+ <li>
+ Write a little script in your favorite language that sends a POST
+ request to this application.<br/>
+ Read the <a href="/api/">API Documentation</a> for more information.
+ </li>
+ <li>Use
