+This script is used to generate the 'class-amp-allowed-tags-generated.php'
+file that is used by the class AMP_Tag_And_Attribute_Sanitizer.
+
+Follow the steps below to generate a new version of the allowed tags class:
+
+- Download a copy of the latet AMPHTML repository from github:
+	
+	git clone git@github.com:ampproject/amphtml.git
+
+- Copy this file into the repo's validator subdirectory:
+
+	cp amp_wp_build.py amphtml/validator
+
+- Run the file from the validator subdirectory:
+	cd amphtml/validator;python amp_wp_build.py
+
+- The class-amp-allowed-tags-generated.php will be generated at:
+	amphtml/validator/amp_wp/class-amp-allowed-tags-generated.php
+
+- copy this file into the amp-wp plugin:
+	cp amp_wp/class-amp-allowed-tags-generated.php /path/to/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/amp-wp/includes/sanitizers/
+
+Then have fun sanitizing your AMP posts!
