+Comma (",") is the default separator of validation tags. If you wish to
+have a comma included within the parameter (i.e. excludesall=,) you will need to
+use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x2C, which is replaced in the code as a comma,

+Pipe ("|") is the default separator of validation tags. If you wish to
+have a pipe included within the parameter i.e. excludesall=| you will need to
+use the UTF-8 hex representation 0x7C, which is replaced in the code as a pipe,

+Baked In Validators and Tags
 
 Here is a list of the current built in validators:
 
-	-
+
+Skip Field
+
 Tells the validation to skip this struct field; this is particularily
 handy in ignoring embedded structs from being validated. (Usage: -)
+	Usage: -
+
+
+Or Operator
 
-	|
 This is the 'or' operator allowing multiple validators to be used and
 accepted. (Usage: rbg|rgba) <-- this would allow either rgb or rgba
 colors to be accepted. This can also be combined with 'and' for example
 ( Usage: omitempty,rgb|rgba)
 
-	structonly
-		When a field that is a nest struct in encountered and contains this flag
+	Usage: |
+
+StructOnly
+
+When a field that is a nested struct is encountered, and contains this flag
 any validation on the nested struct will be run, but none of the nested
 struct fields will be validated. This is usefull if inside of you program
 you know the struct will be valid, but need to verify it has been assigned.
 NOTE: only "required" and "omitempty" can be used on a struct itself.
 
-	nostructlevel
+	Usage: structonly
+
+NoStructLevel
+
 Same as structonly tag except that any struct level validations will not run.
 
-	exists
+	Usage: nostructlevel
+
+Exists
+
 Is a special tag without a validation function attached. It is used when a field
 is a Pointer, Interface or Invalid and you wish to validate that it exists.
 Example: want to ensure a bool exists if you define the bool as a pointer and
 use exists it will ensure there is a value; couldn't use required as it would
 fail when the bool was false. exists will fail is the value is a Pointer, Interface
-		or Invalid and is nil. (Usage: exists)
+or Invalid and is nil.
+
+	Usage: exists
+
+Omit Empty
 
-	omitempty
 Allows conditional validation, for example if a field is not set with
 a value (Determined by the "required" validator) then other validation
 such as min or max won't run, but if a value is set validation will run.
-		(Usage: omitempty)
 
-	dive
+	Usage: omitempty
+
+Dive
+
 This tells the validator to dive into a slice, array or map and validate that
 level of the slice, array or map with the validation tags that follow.
 Multidimensional nesting is also supported, each level you wish to dive will
-		require another dive tag. (Usage: dive)
-		Example: [][]string with validation tag "gt=0,dive,len=1,dive,required"
-		gt=0 will be applied to []
-		len=1 will be applied to []string
-		required will be applied to string
-		Example2: [][]string with validation tag "gt=0,dive,dive,required"
-		gt=0 will be applied to []
-		[]string will be spared validation
-		required will be applied to string
-
-	required
+require another dive tag.
+
+	Usage: dive
+
+Example #1
+
+	[][]string with validation tag "gt=0,dive,len=1,dive,required"
+	// gt=0 will be applied to []
+	// len=1 will be applied to []string
+	// required will be applied to string
+
+Example #2
+
+	[][]string with validation tag "gt=0,dive,dive,required"
+	// gt=0 will be applied to []
+	// []string will be spared validation
+	// required will be applied to string
+
+Required
+
 This validates that the value is not the data types default zero value.
 For numbers ensures value is not zero. For strings ensures value is
 not "". For slices, maps, pointers, interfaces, channels and functions
 ensures the value is not nil.
-		(Usage: required)
 
-	len
+	Usage: required
+
+Length
+
 For numbers, max will ensure that the value is
 equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that
 the string length is exactly that number of characters. For slices,

+arrays, and maps, validates the number of items.

+
+	Usage: max=10

 greater or equal to the parameter given. For strings, it checks that
 the string length is at least that number of characters. For slices,
-		arrays, and maps, validates the number of items. (Usage: min=10)

+	Usage: min=10

 is greater than that number of characters. For slices, arrays

 Alias Validators and Tags
 
-NOTE: when returning an error the tag returned in FieldError will be
-the alias tag unless the dive tag is part of the alias; everything after the
-dive tag is not reported as the alias tag. Also the ActualTag in the before case
-will be the actual tag within the alias that failed.
+NOTE: When returning an error, the tag returned in "FieldError" will be
+the alias tag unless the dive tag is part of the alias. Everything after the
+dive tag is not reported as the alias tag. Also, the "ActualTag" in the before
+case will be the actual tag within the alias that failed.
 
 Here is a list of the current built in alias tags:
 
-	iscolor
+	"iscolor"
 		alias is "hexcolor|rgb|rgba|hsl|hsla" (Usage: iscolor)
 
 Validator notes:
 
 	regex
-		a regex validator won't be added because commas and = signs can be part of
-		a regex which conflict with the validation definitions, although workarounds
-		can be made, they take away from using pure regex's. Furthermore it's quick
-		and dirty but the regex's become harder to maintain and are not reusable, so
-		it's as much a programming philosiphy as anything.

-		In place of this new validator functions should be created; a regex can be
