 * Preserve page CSS/styling
 ** or add new CSS; the world is your oyster!
 * Preserve form entries
-
-### Non-features
-really 'Issues'
-* canvas/svg elements such as map routes are not preserved
+* **1.9.0 adds experimental canvas support**
 
 ## Usage
 ### Basic
 ```javascript
-    $('selector').printThis();
+$('selector').printThis();
+```
+
+### Advanced Features
+```javascript
+$('#kitty-one, #kitty-two, #kitty-three').printThis({
+    importCSS: false,
+    loadCSS: "",
+    header: "<h1>Look at all of my kitties!</h1>"
+});
+```
+
+#### debug
+Debug leaves the iframe visible on the page after `printThis` runs, allowing you to inspect the markup and CSS.
+
+#### importCSS
+Copy CSS `<link>` tags to the printThis iframe. On by default.
+
+#### importStyle
+Copy CSS `<style>` tags to the printThis iframe. Off by default.
+
+#### printContainer
+Includes the markup of the selected container, not just its contents. On by default.
+
+#### loadCSS
+Provide a URL for an additional stylesheet to the printThis iframe. Empty string (off) by default.
+
+#### pageTitle
+Use a custom page title on the iframe. This may be reflected on the printed page, depending on settings. Blank by default.
+
+#### removeInline
+Eliminates any inline style attributes from the content. Off by default.
+
+#### printDelay
+The amount of time to wait before calling `print()` in the printThis iframe. Defaults to 333 milliseconds.
+Appropriate values depend heavily on the content and network performance. Graphics heavy, slow, or uncached content may need extra time to load.
+
+#### header & footer
+A string or jQuery object to prepend or append to the printThis iframe content. `null` by default. 
+
+```javascript
+$('#mySelector').printThis({
+    header: "<h1>Amazing header</h1>"
+});
+ 
+$('#mySelector').printThis({
+    footer: $('.hidden-print-header-content')
+});
 ```
 
-### Advanced
-    $('#kitty-one, #kitty-two, #kitty-three').printThis({
-        importCSS: false,
-        loadCSS: "",
-        header: "<h1>Look at all of my kitties!</h1>"
-    });
+#### base
+The `base` option allows several behaviors.
+By default it is `false`, meaning a the current document will be set as the base URL.  
+
+If set to `true`, a `<base>` attribute will be set if one exists on the page. 
+If none is found, the tag is omitted, which may be suitable for pages with Fully Qualified URLs.
+
+When passed as a string, it will be used as the `href` attribute of a `<base>` tag.
+
+#### formValues
+This setting attempts to copy the current values of form elements into the printThis iframe. On by default.
+
+Complex field values, such as those containing quotations or mark-up, may have difficulties. Please report any unexpected behavior.
+
+#### canvas -- Experimental
+As of 1.9.0 you may be able to duplicate canvas elements to the printThis iframe. Disabled by default.
+This has received only limited testing and so may not work in all browsers and situations.
+
+#### doctypeString
+A doctype string to use on the printThis iframe. Defaults to the HTML5 doctype.
 
 ### All Options
 ```javascript
-    $("#mySelector").printThis({
-        debug: false,               * show the iframe for debugging
-        importCSS: true,            * import page CSS
-        importStyle: false,         * import style tags
-        printContainer: true,       * grab outer container as well as the contents of the selector
-        loadCSS: "path/to/my.css",  * path to additional css file - use an array [] for multiple
-        pageTitle: "",              * add title to print page
-        removeInline: false,        * remove all inline styles from print elements
-        printDelay: 333,            * variable print delay; depending on complexity a higher value may be necessary
-        header: null,               * prefix to html
-        base: false                 * preserve the BASE tag, or accept a string for the URL
-        formValues: true            * preserve input/form values
-    });
