Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: webservers
  roles:
     - { role: briancoca.tidy, tidy_path: /etc/apache2/conf.d, tidy_expected: ['vhost1.conf', 'vhost2.conf'], tidy_handler: mailme}
