+# Autoclose
+
+The autoclose plugin automatically closes brackets, quotes and the like,
+and it can add indentation between such symbols. The plugin can be configured
+on a per-buffer basis via the following options:
+
+- `autoclose.pairs`: When the first rune in a pair is entered, autoclose will
+  add the second automatically. Moreover, when the first rune is deleted while
+  the cursor is on the second, then this second rune is also deleted.
+  The default value is ```{"\"\"", "''", "``", "()", "{}", "[]"}```.
+- `autoclose.newlinePairs`: When `Enter` is pressed between such a pair,
+  autoclose will put the closing rune on a separate line and add indentation.
+  The default value is `{"()", "{}", "[]"}`.
