+Command-Line Reference
+======================
+
+Usage Form
+-----------
+
+Invocations of ptulsconv take the following form:
+
+    ptulsconv [options] IN_FILE
+
+
+Flags
+-----
+
+`-h`, `--help`:
+    Show the help message.
+
+`f FMT`, `--format=FMT`:
+    Select the output format. By default this is `doc`, which will 
+    generate :ref:`ADR reports<adr-reports>`.
+
+    The :ref:`other available options<alt-output-options>` 
+    are `raw` and `tagged`.
+
+
+Informational Options
+"""""""""""""""""""""
+
+These options display information and exit without processing any
+input documents.
+
+`--show-formats`:
+    Display information about available output formats.
+
+`--show-available-tags`:
+    Display information about tags that are used by the 
+    report generator.

+Alternate Output Formats
+------------------------
+
+.. _raw-output:
+
+`raw` Output
+""""""""""""
+
+The "raw" output format is a JSON document of the parsed input data.
+
+The document is a top-level dictionary with keys for the main sections of the text export: `header`,
+`files`, `clips`, `plugins`, `tracks` and `markers`, and the values for these are a list of section
+entries, or a dictionary of values, in the case of `header`.
+
+The text values of each record and field in the text export is read and output verbatim, no further 
+processing is done.
+
+.. _tagged-output:
+
+`tagged` Output:
+""""""""""""""""
+
+The "tagged" output format is also a JSON document based on the parsed input data, after the additional 
+step of processing all of the :ref:`tags<tags>` in the document.
+
+The document is a top-level array of dictionaries, one for each recognized ADR spotting clip in the 
+session. Each dictionary has a `clip_name`, `track_name` and `session_name` key, a `tags` key that
+contains a dictionary of every parsed tag (after applying tags from all tracks and markers), and a 
+`start` and `end` key. The `start` and `end` key contain the parsed timecode representations of these
+values in rational number form, as a dictionary with `numerator` and `denominator` keys.
