+# go-invoicetxt
+
+A Go library for working with invoice.txt files.
+
+A invoice.txt file is a plain text file for invoicing purposes. It stems from the same motivations as todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/ ).
+
+This library is very similar to https://github.com/br0xen/go-todotxt, which is a fork of https://github.com/JamesClonk/go-todotxt.
