+    number of slave windows.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.BorderResize":
+    This layout modifier will allow to resize windows by dragging their
+    borders with the mouse. However, it only works in layouts or modified
+    layouts that react to the SetGeometry message.
+    "XMonad.Layout.WindowArranger" can be used to create such a setup.

+
+* "XMonad.Layout.CenteredMaster":
+    Two layout modifiers. centerMaster places master window at center,

+* "XMonad.Layout.Circle":
+    Circle is an elliptical, overlapping layout, by Peter De Wachter
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Column":

+* "XMonad.Layout.Dishes":
+    Dishes is a layout that stacks extra windows underneath the master
+    windows.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.DragPane":
+    Layouts that splits the screen either horizontally or vertically and
+    shows two windows.  The first window is always the master window, and
+    the other is either the currently focused window or the second window in
+    layout order.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.DwmStyle":
+    A layout modifier for decorating windows in a dwm like style.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.FixedColumn":
+    A layout much like Tall, but using a multiple of a window's minimum
+    resize amount instead of a percentage of screen to decide where to
+    split. This is useful when you usually leave a text editor or
+    terminal in the master pane and like it to be 80 columns wide.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Gaps":
+    Create manually-sized gaps along edges of the screen which will not
+    be used for tiling, along with support for toggling gaps on and

+    A simple layout that attempts to put all windows in a square grid.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.GridVariants":
+    Two layouts: one is a variant of the Grid layout that allows the
+    desired aspect ratio of windows to be specified.  The other is like
+    Tall but places a grid with fixed number of rows and columns in the
+    master area and uses an aspect-ratio-specified layout for the
+    slaves.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.HintedGrid":
+    A not so simple layout that attempts to put all windows in a square grid
+    while obeying their size hints.

+    (like Psi or Tkabber).
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens":

+    each screen (like dwm's workspace model), using internal tags to
+    distinguish workspaces associated with each screen.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.LayoutBuilder":
+    A layout combinator that sends a specified number of windows to one rectangle
+    and the rest to another.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.LayoutCombinators":

+    for easily combining multiple layouts into one composite layout, as

+    to it.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints":
+    Make layouts respect size hints.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.LayoutModifier":
+    A module for writing easy layout modifiers, which do not define a
+    layout in and of themselves, but modify the behavior of or add new
+    functionality to other layouts.  If you ever find yourself writing
+    a layout which takes another layout as a parameter, chances are you
+    should be writing a LayoutModifier instead!
+   
+    In case it is not clear, this module is not intended to help you
+    configure xmonad, it is to help you write other extension modules.
+    So get hacking!
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.LayoutScreens":
+    Divide a single screen into multiple screens.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.LimitWindows":

+    Automagically put the focused window in the master area.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Magnifier":

+* "XMonad.Layout.Master":
+    Layout modfier that adds a master window to another layout.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Maximize":

+    Provides message escaping and filtering facilities which
+    help control complex nested layouts.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Minimize":
+    Makes it possible to minimize windows, temporarily removing them
+    from the layout until they are restored.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Monitor":
+    Layout modfier for displaying some window (monitor) above other windows
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Mosaic":
+    Based on MosaicAlt, but aspect ratio messages always change the aspect
+    ratios, and rearranging the window stack changes the window sizes.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.MosaicAlt":
+    A layout which gives each window a specified amount of screen space
+    relative to the others. Compared to the 'Mosaic' layout, this one
+    divides the space in a more balanced way.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.MouseResizableTile":
+    A layout in the spirit of "XMonad.Layout.ResizableTile", but with the option
+    to use the mouse to adjust the layout.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.MultiToggle":
+    Dynamically apply and unapply transformers to your window layout. This can
+    be used to rotate your window layout by 90 degrees, or to make the
+    currently focused window occupy the whole screen (\"zoom in\") then undo
+    the transformation (\"zoom out\").
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Named":
+    A module for assigning a name to a given layout.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.NoBorders":
+    Make a given layout display without borders.  This is useful for
+    full-screen or tabbed layouts, where you don't really want to waste a
+    couple of pixels of real estate just to inform yourself that the visible
+    window has focus.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.NoFrillsDecoration":
+    Most basic version of decoration for windows without any additional
+    modifications. In contrast to "XMonad.Layout.SimpleDecoration" this will
+    result in title bars that span the entire window instead of being only the
+    length of the window title.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.OneBig":
+    Provides layout named OneBig. It places one (master) window at top left corner of screen, and other (slave) windows at top
+

+    Configure layouts on a per-workspace basis: use layouts and apply
+    layout modifiers selectively, depending on the workspace.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Reflect":
+    Reflect a layout horizontally or vertically.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.ResizableTile":
+    More useful tiled layout that allows you to change a width\/height of window.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.ResizeScreen":
+    A layout transformer to have a layout respect a given screen
+    geometry. Mostly used with "Decoration" (the Horizontal and the
+    Vertical version will react to SetTheme and change their dimension
+    accordingly.
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.Roledex":
+    This is a completely pointless layout which acts like Microsoft's Flip 3D
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.ShowWName":
+    This is a layout modifier that will show the workspace name
+
+* "XMonad.Layout.SimpleDecoration":
+    A layout modifier for adding simple decorations to the windows of a
+    given layout. The decorations are in the form of ion-like tabs
+    for window titles.

+* "XMonad.Layout.Square":
+    A layout that splits the screen into a square area and the rest of the
+    screen.
+    This is probably only ever useful in combination with
+    "XMonad.Layout.Combo".
+    It sticks one window in a square region, and makes the rest
+    of the windows live with what's left (in a full-screen sense).
 
-* "XMonad.Layout.Grid": put windows in a square grid.
+* "XMonad.Layout.StackTile":
