+ConE rootflatten action
+=======================
+
+The *rootflatten* action is intended to be a temporary solution for enabling 
+Configuration roots anywhere inside the project structure. The current 
+Configuration project specification (0.4) is defined to allow configuration roots
+only in the project root folder, so the root flatten will convert a file located
+in any subfolder of the project to root file under the project folder that follows 
+the Configuration project specification. 
+
+The configuration roots in the subfolders can use absolute includes to include other 
+configuration roots and / or layers.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+**Create a flat configuration from a Country configuration**
+
+The configuration root could for example exist in family/product/country/`product_Euro2_ALPS_02_customisation_root.confml <../_static/country/product_Euro1_ALPS_01_customisation_root.confml>`_.
+So this configuration root includes another configuration and two extra layers. The script trusts that the normal SD naming convention is in use, where all layer root confml files 
+are just name root.confml (to know what is a configuration root and what is a layer). 
+
+Commands::
+
+    > cd configproject_root
+    > cone rootflatten -c family\product\country\product_Euro2_ALPS_02_customisation_root.confml
+    Running action rootflatten
+    Processing configurations ['family\\product\\country\\product_Euro1_ALPS_01_customisation_root.confml']
+    opened family\product\country\product_Euro1_ALPS_01_customisation_root.confml for flattening
+    Creating a new configuration root 'product_Euro1_ALPS_01_customisation_root.confml' for flattening
+
+After the conversion there will be a file with the same name in root where includes are flattened and meta data is merged. 
+ * See `product_Euro2_ALPS_02_customisation_root.confml <../_static/product_Euro1_ALPS_01_customisation_root.confml>`_

+Options list
+------------
+Options:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  -c CONFIG, --configuration=CONFIG
+                        Defines the name of the configuration for the action,
+                        can be specified multiple times to include multiple
+                        configurations.
+  --config-wildcard=WILDCARD
+                        Wildcard pattern for including configurations, e.g.
+                        product_langpack_*_root.confml
+  --config-regex=REGEX  Regular expression for including configurations, e.g.
+                        product_langpack_\d{2}_root.confml
+  -p STORAGE, --project=STORAGE
+                        defines the location of current project. Default is
+                        the current working directory.
