+### Technical Details
+
+A TDL file has some requirements:
+* It must be a serialized table.
+* Each item in that table must be a table containing a string (to be used as the name of the task) and a number between 0 and 1 (the percent of completion, divided by 100) OR a table where each item in that table must be a table containing a string (to be used as the name of the task) and a number between 0 and 1 (the percent of completion, divided by 100).
+
+Programs should check to make sure the table meets the standard while or before using the contents of said table.
+
+#### Available Utilities
+* TDLClient (discontinued) - For manipulating TDL files.
+* TDLViewer - For viewing the contents of a TDL file.
+
+### Examples
+#### Installation
+Use `pastebin run Hpum9P5F` and choose "y" when prompted. This will install TDLViewer. If you wish, you can then enter "y" again to install the outdated TDLCLient. TDLClient will not render tasks with subtasks. 
+
+#### Usage
+```Lua
+{
+  {"Show off how minimalistic this looks.",1,},
+  {"Find out the Doctor's name.",
+      {"Track down the Doctor", 1,},
+      {"Ask the Doctor what their name is", 0,},
+  },
+}
+```
