+# Pascal Language Server
+
+An [LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) server
+implementation for Pascal variants that are supported by [Free
+Pascal](https://www.freepascal.org/), including Object Pascal. It uses
+[CodeTools](https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Codetools) from
+Lazarus as backend.
+
+## Features
+
+The implementation is still incomplete and unstable. Currently only
+code completion is supported. Any help and feedback is welcome.
+
+## Clients
+
+To use the server from `lsp-mode` in Emacs, install the separate
+[`lsp-pascal`](https://github.com/arjanadriaanse/lsp-pascal) module.
+
+## Building
+
+Requires Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.0 and Lazarus version 2.0.8,
+open the project file in Lazarus or use the commandline:
+
+```sh
+lazbuild pasls.lpi
+```
