+To use the default formatting options, simply pass in the path to a _.as_ or 
_.mxml_ file as an argument.
 
-Consult your IDE documentation for how to use the Royale formatter.

the original file will remain unmodified. To save the formatting changes, use 
the `--write-files` option (or its shorter `-w` alias).

its use. You can find the list of formatter options here:
