+Once installed, enable the plugin by setting `quoter.enable` to on:
 `set quoter.enable on`
 
 ## Use
 
 Select some text and press a quote or bracket button to surround the 
 selected text with quotes or matching brackets.
+
+## Quoting modes
+
+Depending on the type of the current file, Quoter can apply different quote and
+grouping symbols. For example, while in most languages backticks are usually
+used in pairs, as in `` `backticked` ``, to represent strings, infix operators,
+etc., in latex, to quote text, one would quote it with a backtick and an
+apostrophe, as ` ``quote'' `. Quoting modes allow to resolve these conflicting
+cases. 
+
+However, these modes are not applied automatically but can be set by the user
+in the `settings.json` file, in a per filetype basis, like other user settings,
+through the `quoter.mode` setting. For example, setting the mode to tex for tex
+files:
+
+```json
+{
+    "ft:tex": {
+        "quoter.mode": "tex"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The available modes are: `default`, `c_style` and `tex`. The mode of the
+current file can also be changed in the command-bar with:
+`setlocal quoter.mode 'mode'`
+
+Check the file `micro-quoter/modes.lua` in the plugin folder to see the
+differences between the different modes. 
+
+### Extending Quoting Modes
+
+New modes can be added by extending the `modes` table. If you have sophisticated
+quoting requisites that fall outside the implemented modes, feel free to extend
+the `modes` table and do a pull request [here](https://github.com/sparques/micro-quoter).
