+# include-code-files
+
+Filter to include code from source files.
+
+The filter is largely inspired by [pandoc-include-code](https://github.com/owickstrom/pandoc-include-code).
+
+## Usage
+
+The filter recognizes code blocks with the `include` attribute present. It
+swaps the content of the code block with contents from a file.
+
+### Including Files
+
+The simplest way to use this filter is to include an entire file:
+
+    ```{include="hello.c"}
+    ```
+
+You can still use other attributes, and classes, to control the code blocks:
+
+    ```{.c include="hello.c" numberLines}
+    ```
+
+### Ranges
+
+If you want to include a specific range of lines, use `startLine` and `endLine`:
+
+    ```{include="hello.c" startLine=35 endLine=80}
+    ```
+
+### Dedent
+
+Using the `dedent` attribute, you can have whitespaces removed on each line,
+where possible (non-whitespace character will not be removed even if they occur
+in the dedent area).
+
+    ```{include="hello.c" dedent=4}
+    ```
+
+### Line Numbers
+
+If you include the `numberLines` class in your code block, and use `include`,
+the `startFrom` attribute will be added with respect to the included code's
+location in the source file.
+
+    ```{include="hello.c" startLine=35 endLine=80 .numberLines}
+    ```
+
+## Example
+
+An HTML can be produced with this command:
+
+    pandoc --lua-filter=include-code-files.lua sample.md --output result.html
+
