-Sample plugin for ofxstatement
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This project provides a boilerplate for custom plugins for ofxstatement.
-
-`ofxstatement`_ is a tool to convert proprietary bank statement to OFX format,
-suitable for importing to GnuCash. Plugin for ofxstatement parses a
-particular proprietary bank statement format and produces common data
-structure, that is then formatted into an OFX file.
-
-.. _ofxstatement: https://github.com/kedder/ofxstatement
-
-
-Users of ofxstatement have developed several plugins for their banks. They are
-listed on main `ofxstatement`_ site. If your bank is missing, you can develop
-your own plugin.
-
-Setting up development environment
+ofxstatement plugin for HSBC (USA)
 ==================================
 
-It is recommended to use ``virtualenv`` make a clean development environment.
-Setting up dev environment for writing a plugin is easy::
-
-  $ git clone https://github.com/kedder/ofxstatement-sample ofxstatement-yourbank
-  $ cd ofxstatement-yourbank
-  $ virtualenv -p python3 --no-site-packages .venv
-  $ . .venv/bin/activate
-  (.venv)$ python setup.py develop
-
-This will download all the dependencies and install them into your virtual
-environment. After this, you should be able to do::
-
-  (.venv)$ ofxstatement list-plugins
-  The following plugins are available:
-
-    sample           Sample plugin (for developers only)
+This only supports the ``ExportData.csv`` file you can download from the "money
+management" tool found within their online banking interface (`accessible
+here`_).
 
-
-
-Your own plugin
-===============
-
-To create your own plugin, follow these steps:
-
-* Edit ``setup.py`` and provide relevant metadata for your plugin.  Pay
-  close attention to ``entry_points`` parameter to ``setup`` function: it
-  lists plugins you are registering within ofxstatement. Give meaningful
-  name to the plugin and provide plugin class name
-* Replace contents of ``README.rst`` with description of your plugin
-* Rename ``ofxstatement/plugins/sample.py`` to match plugin package name
-  you have provided in ``entry_points`` parameter.
-* Open renamed sample.py and rename ``SamplePlugin`` and ``SampleParser``
-  classes to match your plugin class name.
-* Now, draw the rest of the owl (c).
+ofxstatement can only process one account at a time, so make sure you export
+each account separately into different files.
 
-.. _ofxstatement-sample: https://github.com/kedder/ofxstatement-sample
-
-Your ``StatementParser`` is the main object that does all the hard work. It
-has only one public method: ``parse()``, that should return
-``ofxstatement.statement.Statement`` object, filled with data from given input.
-The default implementation, however, splits this work into two parts:
-``split_records()`` to split the whole file into logical parts, e.g.
-transaction records, and ``parse_record()`` to extract information from
-individual record. See ``src/ofxstatement/parser.py`` for details. If your
-statement' format looks like CSV file, you might find ``CsvStatementParser``
-class useful: it simplifies mapping bettween CSV columns and ``StatementLine``
-attributes.
+I pretty much used this only once in November 2016 to import about around 2000
+transactions into GnuCash_. Your mileage may vary.
 
-``Plugin`` interface consists only of ``get_parser()`` method, that returns
-configured StatementParser object for given input filename. Docstrings on
-Plugin class is also useful for describing the purpose of your plugin. First
-line of it is visible in ``ofxstatement list-plugins`` output.
-
-Testing
-=======
-
-Test your code as you would do with any other project.  To make sure
-ofxstatement is still able to load your plugin, run::
+.. _accessible here: http://www.us.hsbc.com/1/2/home/personal-banking/customers
+.. _GnuCash: http://www.gnucash.org/
 
-  (.venv)$ ofxstatement list-plugins
-
-You should be able to see your plugin listed.
-
-After you are done
-==================
-
-After your plugin is ready, feel free to open an issue on `ofxstatement`_
-project to include your plugin in "known plugin list". That would hopefully
-make life of other clients of your bank easier.
