+</p>
+
+<p align="center">
+	Beginner-friendly guide for creating a Whiskers port!
+</p>
+
+&nbsp;
+
+The top section of each Whiskers template, beginning and ending with `---`, is referred to as "frontmatter".
+This section conveys important information to Whiskers through the `whiskers` key, though you can also add your own variables that will be added to the context.
+
+Let's consider the following frontmatter:
+
+```jinja
+---
+whiskers:
+  version: "2.3.0"
+---
+{%- for _, flavor in flavors %}
+{{ flavor.emoji}} {{ flavor.name }}
+{%- endfor %}
+```
+
+This is as simple as a Whiskers template can be. The frontmatter defines `whiskers.version` and nothing more. When compiled, Whiskers prints the following to your console:
+
+```
+🌻 Latte
+🪴 Frappé
+🌺 Macchiato
+🌿 Mocha
+```
+
+Perfect! But we want this in a file. You can either [redirect the output](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Redirections.html) with `>` (e.g. `whiskers <filename> > output.md`), or preferably define the `whiskers.filename` property in the frontmatter:
+
+```diff
+---
+whiskers:
+  version: "2.3.0"
++ filename: "output.md"
+---
+{%- for _, flavor in flavors %}
+[{{ flavor.emoji}} {{ flavor.name }}]
+{%- endfor %}
+```
+
+> [!TIP]
+> The `whiskers.filename` property also allows you to use Tera expressions within it, like a miniature template. This is helpful for more complex and dynamic output locations - see the below section on `whiskers.matrix`.
+
+This instructs Whiskers to write the file for you, and helpfully it will also create any missing directories in the path.
+
+In most cases, a single template will need to result in multiple files (one for each flavor, or occasionally one for each flavor and accent combination). This behavior is built-in to Whiskers through the `whiskers.matrix` property. The most basic usage of it is as follows:
+
+```jinja
+---
+whiskers:
+  version: "2.3.0"
+  matrix:
+    - flavor
+  filename: "{{ flavor.identifier }}.md"
+---
+{{ flavor.emoji }} {{ flavor.name }}
+```
+
+This template instructs Whiskers to execute the template once for each flavor through `whiskers.matrix`, which involves injecting the `flavor` variable of the current flavor of the matrix (equivalent to `flavors[flavor]` under the hood) in each iteration. The `flavor` variable is used twice, once in `whiskers.filename` to dynamically generate a filename based on the name of the flavor -- executing this template will output the following files: `latte.md`, `frappe.md`, `macchiato.md`, and `mocha.md` -- and secondly to display the `emoji` and `name` properties of each flavor (see https://github.com/catppuccin/palette/blob/main/palette.json).
+
+In addition to the mandatory `whiskers` object, you may define arbitrary keys in your frontmatter as an easier way of defining variables within the template's context. For example, consider the following template.
+
+```jinja
+---
+accent: mauve
+my_variable: xyz
+whiskers:
+  version: "2.3.0"
+---
+accent: {{ accent }} -> #{{ flavors.mocha.colors[accent].hex }}
+my_variable: {{ my_variable }}
+```
+
+This outputs the following:
+
+```
+accent: mauve -> #cba6f7
+my_variable: xyz
+```
+
+The `accent` key becomes the `accent` variable, which can be used with `{{ accent }}`, and the same with `my_variable` as `{{ my_variable }}`. A common use case is defining an accent color at the top of the template to use throughout. This is demonstrated in the above template, where we get the `mauve` key (from our `accent` variable) of the `flavors.mocha.colors` object to print the associated hex code.
+
+All flavors are accessible in Whiskers templates through the `flavors` variable. If a template is using a flavor matrix, or the `--flavor` option, the `flavor` variable will contain the data for the current flavor, and additionally each color of the current flavor is available in the root context. This means you can use simply use a color by its identifier: red with `{{ red }}`, and blue with `{{ blue }}`.
+
+Some ports simply need each color to be defined at the top, which can be acheieved by looping over the `flavor.colors` object.
+
+```jinja
+| Name | Identifier |
+| ---- | ---------- |
+{%- for _, color in flavor.colors %}
+| {{ color.name }} | `{{ color.identifier }}` |
+{%- endfor %}
+```
+
+## Filters
+
+Tera has many [built-in filters](https://keats.github.io/tera/docs/#built-in-filters), though the color modification and representation filters
+are provided by Whiskers itself, such as `css_rgb` and `css_hsl`.
+
+Colors may need to be modified from their original form - often, this is in the form of adjusting the opacity.
+The Whiskers-provided `mod` filter lets us do this; red is normally `{{ red | css_rgba }}`, though we can set the opacity to 50% with `{{ red | mod(opacity=0.5) | css_rgba }}`.
