+# NAME
+
+waybar - hyprland workspaces module
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+The *workspaces* module displays the currently used workspaces in hyprland compositor.
+
+# CONFIGURATION
+
+Addressed by *hyprland/workspaces*
+
+*format*: ++
+	typeof: string ++
+	default: {id} ++
+	The format, how information should be displayed.
+
+*format-icons*: ++
+	typeof: array ++
+	Based on the workspace id and state, the corresponding icon gets selected. See *icons*.
+
+# FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
+
+*{id}*: id of workspace assigned by compositor
+
+*{icon}*: Icon, as defined in *format-icons*.
+
+# ICONS
+
+Additional to workspace name matching, the following *format-icons* can be set.
+
+- *default*: Will be shown, when no string match is found.
+- *active*: Will be shown, when workspace is active
+
+# EXAMPLES
+
+```
