 `npm install html-minifier-cli -g`
 
 ## Usage
+See `htmlmin -h` for full details.
 
+### Examples
+Read from `index.html` and write to `index.min.html`:
 `htmlmin -o index.min.html index.html`
 
-See `htmlmin -h` for more usage.
\ No newline at end of file
+Read all files from `client/views` and write them to `public/views`:
+`htmlmin -o public/views client/views`
+
+Read from `client/views/index.html` and write it to already existing folder
+`public/views`:
+`htmlmin -o public/views client/views/index.html`
+
+### Output
+You can pass input either as a path to a file or a folder, or directly from
+stdin. When passed a folder as input, the program will attempt to recursively
+create a folder with the name specified in the `-o` option. Or if there is
+already a folder with the same name as the output location, the program will
+write each of the input files to that folder. If the input comes from stdin and
+the output location is a folder, a file named `htmlmin.html` will be saved in
+that folder.
