== introduction ==
nicefloats quickly and accurately outputs decimal representations of floating point numbers that, when read back (with `erlang:list_to_float/1' or similar), result in the same floating point value
== features ==
nicefloats currently only outputs the shortest possible representation of floating point numbers in base 10.
== usage ==
`nicefloats:format(Float).'
== contributing ==
nicefloats is available on <a href="http://github.com/talentdeficit/nicefloats">github</a>. users are encouraged to fork, edit and make pull requests
