+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+lesana [--help] <command>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+lesana is a tool to organize collections of various kinds.  It is
+designed to have a data storage / serialization format that is friendly
+to git and other VCSs, but decent performances.
+
+To reach this aim it uses yaml_ as its serialization format, which is
+easy to store in a VCS, share between people and syncronize between
+different computers, but it also keeps an index of this data in a local
+xapian_ database in order to allow for fast searches.
+
+.. _yaml: http://yaml.org/
+.. _xapian: https://xapian.org/
+
+lesana supports collections of any kind, as long as their entries can be
+described with a mostly flat dictionary of fields of the types described
+in the documentation file ``field_types``.
+
+Some example collection schemas are provided, but one big strenght of
+lesana is the ability to customize your collection with custom fields
+either by simply writing a personalized ``settings.yaml``.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+-h, --help
+   Prints an help message and exits.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+
+new(1)
+   Creates a new entry.
+edit(1)
+   Edits an existing entry.
+show(1)
+   Shows an existing entry.
+index(1)
+   Index some entries in the xapian cache.
+search(1)
+   Searches for entries in the xapian cache.
+export(1)
+   Exports entries from one lesana collection to another
+init(1)
+   Initialize a new lesana collection
+rm(1)
+   Removes an entry.
+
+TEXT EDITOR
+===========
+
+Many lesana subcommands will try to open files in a text editor choosen
+as follows:
+
+* first, the value of $EDITOR is tried
+* then the command ``sensible-editor``, as available under e.g. Debian
+  and its derivatives
+* lastly, it will try to fallback to ``vi``, which should be available
+  under any posix system.
