 # Usage
 
+Marko provides a submodule (`marko/express`) to add a `res.marko` method to the express response object.  This function works much like `res.render`, but doesn't impose the restrictions of the express view engine and allows you to take full advantage of Marko's streaming and modular approach to templates.  
+
+By using `res.marko` you'll automatically have access to `req`, `res`, `app`, `app.locals`, and `res.locals` from within your Marko template and custom tags.  These values are added to `out.global`.
