 Extend pyexcel-io Tutorial
 ================================================================================
 
-pyexcel-io itself comes with csv support.
+You are welcome extend pyexcel-io to read and write more tabular formats. In
+github repo, you will find two examples in `examples` folder. This section
+explains its implementations to help you write yours.
+
+.. note::
+
+   No longer, you will need to do explicit imports for pyexcel-io extensions.
+   Instead, you install them and manage them via pip.
 
 Reader
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Suppose we have a yaml file, containing a dictionary where the values are
-two dimensional array. The task is write reader plugin to pyexcel-io so that
-we can use get_data() to read it out.
-
-Example yaml data::
+two dimensional array. The task is to write a reader plugin to pyexcel-io so that
+we can use get_data() to read yaml file out.
 
 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/test.yaml
   :language: yaml
-  
-Example code::
 
-.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yeaml_reader.py
+**Implement IReader**
+
+First, let's impolement reader interface as below. Three implementations are required:
+
+1. `content_array` attribute, is expected to be a list of `NamedContent`
+2. `read_sheet` function, read sheet content by its index.
+3. `close` function, to clean up any file handle
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yaml_reader.py
   :language: python
+  :lines: 19-33
+
+**Implement ISheet**
 
+`YourSingleSheet` makes this simple task complex in order to show case its inner
+workings. Two abstract functions require implementation:
+
+1. `row_iterator`: should return a row: either content arry or content index as long as
+                   `column_iterator` understands
+
+2. `column_iterator`: should return cell values one by one.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yaml_reader.py
+  :language: python
+  :lines: 8-16
+
+
+**Plug in pyexcel-io**
+
+Last thing is to register with pyexcel-io about your new reader. `relative_plugin_class_path`
+meant reference from current module, how to refer to `YourReader`. `locations` meant
+the physical presence of the data source: "file", "memory" or "content". "file" means
+files on physical disk. "memory" means a file stream. "content" means a string buffer.
+`stream_type` meant the type of the stream: binary for BytesIO and text for StringIO.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yaml_reader.py
+  :language: python
+  :lines: 36-41
+
+
+**Test your reader **
+
+Let's run the following code and see if it works.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yaml_reader.py
+  :language: python
+  :lines: 43-45
 
 Writer
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
+Now for the writer, let's write a pyexcel-io writer that write a dictionary of
+two dimentaional arrays back into a yaml file seen above.
 
+** Implement IWriter **
 
-Working with xls, xlsx, and ods formats
-================================================================================
+Two abstract functions are required:
 
-.. note::
+1. `create_sheet` creates a native sheet by sheet name, that understands how to code up the native sheet. Interestingly, it returns your sheet.
+2. `close` function closes file handle if any.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yaml_writer.py
+  :language: python
+  :lines: 18-30
+
+** Implement ISheetWriter **
+
+It is imagined that you will have your own sheet writer. You simply need to figure
+out how to write a row. Row by row write action was already written by `ISheetWrier`.
+
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yaml_writer.py
+  :language: python
+  :lines: 7-14
+
+**Plug in pyexcel-io**
+
+Like the reader plugin, we register a writer.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yaml_writer.py
+  :language: python
+  :lines: 33-38
+
+**Test It**
+
+Let's run the following code and please examine `mytest.yaml` yourself.
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/custom_yaml_writer.py
+  :language: python
+  :lines: 40-46
