+### Using mm-repeater
+`mm-repeater` allows the duplication of a set of fields contained within a template tag.
+
+```html
+<mm-repeater id="myRepeater">
+	<template preserve-content>
+		<mm-input name="first_name" placeholder="First Name"></mm-input>
+		<mm-input name="last_name" placeholder="Last Name"></mm-input>
+		<mm-input name="address" placeholder="Address"></mm-input>
+		<mm-input name="city" placeholder="City"></mm-input>
+		<mm-dropdown name="state" placeholder="State/Province">
+			...
+		</mm-dropdown>
+		<mm-input name="zip_code" placeholder="ZIP/Postal Code"></mm-input>
+	</template>
+</mm-repeater>
+```
+
+#### Validation
+Like `mm-form`, `mm-repeater` takes a `config` object, which can take `validation` as a `string` or a custom validation method taking the arguments `value, row:Object, domref:HTMLElement`, and an `errorMessage`. If a custom validation method is used, `this.errorMessage` can be set dynamically.
+
+```javascript
+var myRepeater = document.getElementById('myRepeater'),
+	Validator = StrandLib.Validator;
+myRepeater.config = {
+	'first_name': {
+		validation: 'alpha'
+	},
+	'last_name': {
+		validation: 'alpha'
+	},
+	'address': {
+		validation: function(value) {
+			var a = value.split(" "),
+				street_num = parseInt(a[0]),
+				street_name = a[1];
+			return street_num != NaN;
+		},
+	},
+	'city': {
+		validation: 'alpha'
+	},
+	'zip_code': {
+		validation: function(zip) {
+			var z = zip.replace('-','');
+			return parseInt(z) != NaN && (z.length == 5 || z.length == 9);
+		},
+		errorMessage: 'Not a valid ZIP'
+	}
+}
+```
+
+#### Getting data from `mm-repeater`
+User data from repeated form fields are accessible through the `value` property on the `mm-repeater` element. `value` is a getter/setter interface for the `data` property—this ensures Polymer's data binding updates properly. Each object in the `value` array corresponds to a single repeater row, with key-value pairs corresponding to the name-value pairs of the form elements.
+
+Data can be preloaded into the repeater by setting the `value`. This is useful in views where the end user wishes to edit some pre-existing data.
+```javascript
+var myRepeater = document.getElementById('myRepeater');
+myRepeater.value = [
+	{
+		first_name: "Jerry",
+		last_name: "Seinfeld",
+		address: "2880 Broadway",
+		city: "New York",
+		state: "NY",
+		zip_code: "10025"
+	},
+	{
+		first_name: "George",
+		last_name: "Costanza",
+		address: "2880 Broadway",
+		city: "New York",
+		state: "NY",
+		zip_code: "10025"
+	}
+];
+```
+By default, `mm-repeater` initializes the `value` property with an array containing a single, empty `Object`. This results in a single, blank instance of the template being rendered when the form loads.
