+Pretty printing
+===============
+
+Pretty printing is the process of converting a syntax tree back to PHP code. In its basic mode of
+operation the pretty printer provided by this library will print the AST using a certain predefined
+code style and will discard (nearly) all formatting of the original code. Because programmers tend
+to be rather picky about their code formatting, this mode of operation is not very suitable for
+refactoring code, but can be used for automatically generated code, which is usually only read for
+debugging purposes.
+
+Basic usage
+-----------
+
+```php
+$stmts = $parser->parse($code);
+
+// MODIFY $stmts here
+
+$prettyPrinter = new PhpParser\PrettyPrinter\Standard;
+$newCode = $prettyPrinter->prettyPrintFile($stmts);
+```
+
+The pretty printer has three basic printing methods: `prettyPrint()`, `prettyPrintFile()` and
+`prettyPrintExpr()`. The one that is most commonly useful is `prettyPrintFile()`, which takes an
+array of statements and produces a full PHP file, including opening `<?php`.
+
+`prettyPrint()` also takes a statement array, but produces code which is valid inside an already
+open `<?php` context. Lastly, `prettyPrintExpr()` takes an `Expr` node and prints only a single
+expression.
+
+Customizing the formatting
+--------------------------
+
+Apart from an `shortArraySyntax` option, the default pretty printer does not provide any
+functionality to customize the formatting of the generated code. The pretty printer does respect a
+number of `kind` attributes used by some notes (e.g., whether an integer should be printed as
+decimal, hexadecimal, etc), but there are no options to control brace placement or similar.
+
+If you want to make minor changes to the formatting, the easiest way is to extend the pretty printer
+and override the methods responsible for the node types you are interested in.
+
+If you want to have more fine-grained formatting control, the recommended method is to combine the
+default pretty printer with an existing library for code reformatting, such as
+[PHP-CS-Fixer](https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer).
+
+Formatting-preserving pretty printing
+-------------------------------------
+
+> **Note:** This functionality is **experimental** and not yet complete.
+
+For automated code refactoring, migration and similar, you will usually only want to modify a small
+portion of the code and leave the remainder alone. The basic pretty printer is not suitable for
+this, because it will also reformat parts of the code which have not been modified.
+
+Since PHP-Parser 4.0, an experimental formatting-preserving pretty-printing mode is available, which
+attempts to preserve the formatting of code (those AST nodes that have not changed) and only reformat
+code which has been modified or newly inserted.
+
+Use of the formatting-preservation functionality requires some additional preparatory steps:
+
+```php
+use PhpParser\{Lexer, NodeTraverser, NodeVisitor, Parser, PrettyPrinter};
+
+$lexer = new Lexer\Emulative([
+    'usedAttributes' => [
+        'comments',
+        'startLine', 'endLine',
+        'startTokenPos', 'endTokenPos',
+    ],
+]);
+$parser = new Parser\Php7($lexer);
+
+$traverser = new NodeTraverser();
+$traverser->addVisitor(new NodeVisitor\CloningVisitor());
+
+$printer = new PrettyPrinter\Standard();
+
+$oldStmts = $parser->parse($code);
+$oldTokens = $lexer->getTokens();
+
+$newStmts = $traverser->traverse($oldStmts);
+
+// MODIFY $newStmts HERE
+
+$newCode = $printer->printFormatPreserving($newStmts, $oldStmts, $oldTokens);
+```
+
+If you make use of the name resolution functionality, you will likely want to disable the
+`replaceNodes` option. This will add resolved names as attributes, instead of directlying modifying
+the AST and causing spurious changes to the pretty printed code. For more information, see the
+[name resolution documentation](Name_resolution.markdown).
+
+This functionality is experimental and not yet fully implemented. It should not provide incorrect
+code, but it may sometimes reformat more code than necessary. Open issues are tracked in
+[issue #344](https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser/issues/344). If you encounter problems while using
+this functionality, please open an issue, so we know what to prioritize.
