+Asset management
+----------------
+
+The `WEBASSETS` setting allows to use the `webassets`_ module to manage assets
+(css, js). The module must first be installed::
+
+    pip install webassets
+
+`webassets` allows to concatenate your assets and to use almost all of the
+hype tools of the moment (see the `documentation`_):
+
+* css minifier (`cssmin`, `yuicompressor`, ...)
+* css compiler (`less`, `sass`, ...)
+* js minifier (`uglifyjs`, `yuicompressor`, `closure`, ...)
+
+Others filters include gzip compression, integration of images in css with
+`datauri` and more. Webassets also append a version identifier to your asset
+url to convince browsers to download new versions of your assets when you use
+far future expires headers.
+
+When using it with Pelican, `webassets` is configured to process assets in the
+``OUTPUT_PATH/theme`` directory. You can use it in your templates with a
+template tag, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+    {% assets filters="cssmin", output="css/style.min.css", "css/inuit.css", "css/pygment-monokai.css", "css/main.css" %}
+        <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ ASSET_URL }}">
+    {% endassets %}
+
+will produce a minified css file with the version identifier:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+    <link href="http://{SITEURL}/theme/css/style.min.css?b3a7c807" rel="stylesheet">
+
+Another example for javascript:
+
+.. code-block:: jinja
+
+    {% assets filters="uglifyjs,gzip", output="js/packed.js", "js/jquery.js", "js/base.js", "js/widgets.js" %}
+        <script src="{{ ASSETS_URL }}"></script>
+    {% endassets %}
+
+will produce a minified and gzipped js file:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+    <script src="http://{SITEURL}/theme/js/packed.js?00703b9d"></script>
