 ## Using LEL
 
-Coming soon..
+To use LEL with GUECS you first initialize a `guecs::UI` class with its position and size.  Here's
+an example taken from the `demos/calc.cpp` example:
+
+```cpp
+$gui.position(0, 0, WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT);
+```
+
+Then you configure a layout with the LEL formatting language:
+
+```cpp
+$gui.layout(
+    "[*%(400)stack|_|_|_]"
+    "[*%(400)readout|_|_|_]"
+    "[push|pop|clear|eq]"
+    "[add|sub|mul|div]"
+    "[btn7|btn8|btn9]"
+    "[btn4|btn5|btn6]"
+    "[btn1|btn2|btn3]"
+    "[neg|btn0|_]");
+```
+
+This creates a simple RPN calculator UI with buttons for numbers, readouts for the results and stack, and basic math operators.  For people from other languages, this is actually one big string, but C++ (like C) allows you to "concatenate" strings together that are next to each other, so I just put them on separate lines so they look more like the grid they represent.
+
+Once you have that you can give your panel a background and render a debug layout:
+
+```cpp
+  void render(sf::RenderWindow& window) {
+    $gui.render(window);
+    $gui.debug_layout(window);
+  }
+```
+
+Since this first version works with SFML this render only takes a `sf::RenderWindow` and renders the
+gui to it.  With these two calls you'll get red lines showing you the grid specified in `layout()`.
+
+This lets you refine the layout grid without requiring any components.  Keep working the LEL layout until the grid looks good, then add some rectangles and labels:
+```cpp
+for(auto& [name, cell] : $gui.cells()) {
+  auto id = $gui.entity(name);
+  $gui.set<Rectangle>(id, {});
+  $gui.set<Label>(id, { guecs::to_wstring(name) });
+}
+```
+
+You'll notice I have `guecs::to_wstring(name)` which uses the forbidden unicode conversion `codecvt`
+from C++.  Don't tell Microsoft. They'll be really angry and that one manager that's trying to get
+Unicode removed from C++ won't get the bonus he needs to buy that houseboat.
+
+With that working you can now use the components in `sfml/components.hpp` to add shader `Effect`,
+`Clickable` interactions, `Sound`, and other things.  You can also easily write your own.  Look in
+`sfml/components.cpp` to see how I do it.  They're very simple.
+
+The LEL language has quite a few features in a small package, so study the grammar below and try
+working on a layout in different ways to learn it.
+
+### LEL Full Grammar
+
+`[`
+: _startrow_ -- Starts a new row.
+
+`]`
+: _endrow_ -- Ends the row.
+
+`|`
+: _column_ -- Separates (starts a new) columns.
+
+`^` or `.`
+: _valign_ -- Simple vertical alignment. `^` aligns to the top and `.` aligns to the bottom.  This is only useful if you use `()` to change the size so the cell is smaller than it normally is.  Then use this to move it up/down.
+
+`<` or `>`
+: _halign_ -- Simple horizontal alignment. Again, only useful if you change the size so that it's _less_ than its default size.
+
+`*`
+: _expand_ -- This causes a cell to "break" out of its default cell and expand into neighbors.  This is mostly used with `_` (empty) cells next to it for larger components, but you can also use this to create layered cells for special effects.
+
+`=`
+: _center_ -- Centers the cell inside its default cell. Again this is only useful if you use `()` to make it smaller than its default.
+
+`%`
+: _percent_ -- Normally the numbers inside `()` are actual pixel sizes, but adding this before will turn them into percentages as whole numbers. This means "10 percent" is given as `10` and "150 percent" is given as `150`. _DO NOT_ write `0.1` or `10%`.  For example, if you want a cell to be 2 cells wide and 4 cells tall then write `*%(200, 400)`.  You need `*` (expand) when expanding it.
+
+`digit+`
+: _numbers_ -- Anywhere in the grammar when you can type a number, these are them. They're numbers.  Why am I explaining numbers?
+
+`(number (, number)?)`
+: _setw_ -- Sets the width (or height) of the cell. The `(, number)?` means that the second term is optional, and if it's missing it's assumed you want to only specify the width. So `(200)` is 200 pixels wide while `(200, 340)` is 200 wide and 340 tall.  Combine with `*` (expand) and `%` (percent) to make the cell expand into other cells (which can be empty using `_`).
+
+`(percent | center | expand | valign | halign | setw)`
+: _modifiers_ -- In the grammar modifiers are all of these things before the cell ID (name).  So if I want a cell named `launch_rocket` that is 250% wider, 130% taller, I would write `*%(250, 130)launch_rocket`. For this to make sense you'd need to set the neighbor cells to `_` so they're empty like this: `[*%(250, 130)launch_rocket|_][_|_]`.
+
+`((alpha | '_')+ (alnum | '_')*)`
+: _id_ -- This is the cell id format, and it's basically what you get with most programming language:  It can start with any alpha character or `_`, and contain any alphanumeric character or `_`.  You can also just have `_` on its own which will mean "empty" and be left as empty space.
+
+`modifiers* id`
+: _cell_ -- A cell is any of the above modifiers (or none) followed by a cell _id_.
+
+`[ cell (| cell )* ]`
+: _row_ -- A row starts with `[`, contains any number of _cells_ separated by `|` (column) and terminated with a `]`.
+
+### LEL Examples
+
+
+
+### LEL Tricks
+
+1. You can use `_` to create an empty cell, then use `*%(200)` to expand the previous cell into it.
+2. You can also do this to rows below a cell to make them expand down.  Simply set the cells below to `_` and use `*%(X,Y)` to expand by X=width and Y=height percentage.
+3. You can use the names of cells to set an initial character as the event trigger.  Just make each cell start (or end) with a unique relevant character, then grab it to create a number for that event.
