+autopage
+========
+
+Description
+-----------
+The `autopage` patch for dwm adds configurable per-layout client page
+capacity with automatic "paging" to overflow clients to the next tag.
+Rule-assigned and manually moved clients are protected from autopaging while
+empty slots are filled by eligible autopaged clients from the neighboring tag.
+
+The behavior of `autopage` can be configured in config.def.h
+```
+
+static const Layout layouts[] = {
+ /* symbol arrange page capacity follow*/
+ { "[T]=", tile, 0, 0 }, /* unlimited clients per tag */
+ { "[A]=", tile, 3, 0 }, /* 3 clients allowed per tag */
+ { "[AF]=", tile, 4, 1 }, /* 4 clients allowed per tag and follow autopagedclients */
+ { "[F]", NULL, 0, 0 }, /* no layout function means floating behavior */
+ { "[M]", monocle, 0, 0 }, /* unlimited clients per tag */
+};
+
+```
+The example only shows customization of the tiled layout, but the autopager
+is not layout dependent. It can work on just about any layout except for
+"floating" because I wrote it so that floating windows are not autopage
+candidates.
+
+
+As clients are closed, autopaged clients are pulled from subsequent tags to fill
+empty slots left by the closed clients. Rule-assigned and manually moved
+clients are still protected and will not change position.
+
