 ## Belts
-Models timing belt running over toothed or smooth pulleys and calculates an accurate length.
-Only models 2D paths, so not crossed belt core XY!
+Models timing belt running in a path over toothed or smooth pulleys and calculates an accurate length.
+Only models 2D paths, belt may twist to support crossed belt core XY and other designes where the belt twists!
+
+By default the path is a closed loop. An open loop can be specified by specifying `open=true`, and in that case the start and end points are not connected, leaving the loop open.
+
+To get a 180 degree twist of the loop, you can use the `twist` argument. `Twist` can be a single number, and in that case the belt will twist after
+the position with that number. Alternatively `twist` can be a list of boolean values with a boolean for each position; the belt will then twist after
+the position that have a `true` value in the `twist` list. If the path is specified with pulley/idler types, then you can use `auto_twist=true`; in
+that case the belt will automatically twist so the back of the belt always runs against idlers and the tooth side runs against pullies. If you use
+`open=true` then you might also use `start_twist=true` to let the belt start the part with the back side out.
+
+The path must be specified as a list of positions. Each position should be either a vector with `[x, y, pulley]` or `[x, y, r]`. A pully is a type from
+`pulleys.scad`, and correct radius and angle will automatically be calculated. Alternatively a radius can be specified directly.
 
 To make the back of the belt run against a smooth pulley on the outside of the loop specify a negative pitch radius.
-
-By default the path is a closed loop but a gap length and position can be specified to make open loops.
-To draw the gap its XY position is specified by `gap_pos`. `gap_pos.z` can be used to specify a rotation if the gap is not at the bottom of the loop.
+Alternativley you can just specify smooth pulleys in the path, and it will then happen automatically.

+## Core_xy
+Parameterised Core XY implementation. Draws the belts and provides utilities for positioning the pulleys.
+
+The belts are positioned according the bottom left "anchor" pulley and the top right drive pulley.
+Implementation has the following features:
+
+1. The drive and idler pulleys may be different sizes.
+2. The belt separation is parameterised.
+3. The separation of the plain and toothed pulleys on the Y carriages is parameterised, in both the X and the Y direction.
+4. The drive pulleys may be offset in the X and Y directions. If this is done, extra idler pulleys are added. This
+allows flexible positioning of the motors.
+
+[utils/core_xy.scad](utils/core_xy.scad) Implementation.

+//! Parameterised Core XY implementation. Draws the belts and provides utilities for positioning the pulleys.
+//!
+//! The belts are positioned according the bottom left "anchor" pulley and the top right drive pulley.
+//! Implementation has the following features:
+//!
+//! 1. The drive and idler pulleys may be different sizes.
+//! 2. The belt separation is parameterised.
+//! 3. The separation of the plain and toothed pulleys on the Y carriages is parameterised, in both the X and the Y direction.
+//! 4. The drive pulleys may be offset in the X and Y directions. If this is done, extra idler pulleys are added. This
+//! allows flexible positioning of the motors.

+//! Models timing belt running in a path over toothed or smooth pulleys and calculates an accurate length.
+//! Only models 2D paths, belt may twist to support crossed belt core XY and other designes where the belt twists!
+//!
+//! By default the path is a closed loop. An open loop can be specified by specifying `open=true`, and in that case the start and end points are not connected, leaving the loop open.
+//!
+//! To get a 180 degree twist of the loop, you can use the `twist` argument. `Twist` can be a single number, and in that case the belt will twist after
+//! the position with that number. Alternatively `twist` can be a list of boolean values with a boolean for each position; the belt will then twist after
+//! the position that have a `true` value in the `twist` list. If the path is specified with pulley/idler types, then you can use `auto_twist=true`; in
+//! that case the belt will automatically twist so the back of the belt always runs against idlers and the tooth side runs against pullies. If you use
+//! `open=true` then you might also use `start_twist=true` to let the belt start the part with the back side out.
+//!
+//! The path must be specified as a list of positions. Each position should be either a vector with `[x, y, pulley]` or `[x, y, r]`. A pully is a type from
+//! `pulleys.scad`, and correct radius and angle will automatically be calculated. Alternatively a radius can be specified directly.

-//! By default the path is a closed loop but a gap length and position can be specified to make open loops.
