Update README.md

The updates are:

* Indicate that it is possible to pass a block to `super` to add custom
  behaviour to some Devise controller actions without completely
  overriding them.

* Move mailer configuration out of the section "Controller filters and
  helpers".

* Consistently use Ruby 1.9's hash syntax, highlight code and capitalize
  "Devise".

* Wording improvements

This will create a model (if one does not exist) and configure it with default Devise modules.

Note that you should re-start your app here if you've already started it. Otherwise you'll run into strange errors like users being unable to login and the route helpers being undefined.
Next, you need to set up the default url options for the Devise mailer in each environment. Here is a possible configuration for `config/environments/development.rb`:

The Devise method in your models also accepts some options to configure its modules. For example, you can choose the cost of the encryption algorithm with:

Besides :stretches, you can define :pepper, :encryptor, :confirm_within, :remember_for, :timeout_in, :unlock_in and other values. For details, see the initializer file that was created when you invoked the "devise:install" generator described above.

2. Tell the router to use this controller:
```ruby
devise_for :admins, :controllers => { :sessions => "admins/sessions" }

3. And since we changed the controller, it won't use the `"devise/sessions"` views, so remember to copy `"devise/sessions"` to `"admins/sessions"`.
3. Copy the views from `devise/sessions` to `admins/sessions`. Since the controller was changed, it won't use the default views located in `devise/sessions`.
Remember that Devise uses flash messages to let users know if sign in was successful or failed. Devise expects your application to call `"flash[:notice]"` and `"flash[:alert]"` as appropriate. Do not print the entire flash hash, print specific keys or at least remove the `:timedout` key from the hash as Devise adds this key in some circumstances, this key is not meant for display.
4. Finally, change or extend the desired controller actions.
You can completely override a controller action:
```ruby
class Admins::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
def create
# custom sign-in code
end
end
```
Or you can simply add new behaviour to it:
```ruby
class Admins::SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
def create
super do |resource|
BackgroundWorker.trigger(resource)
end
end
end
```
This is useful for triggering background jobs or logging events during certain actions.
Remember that Devise uses flash messages to let users know if sign in was successful or failed. Devise expects your application to call `flash[:notice]` and `flash[:alert]` as appropriate. Do not print the entire flash hash, print only specific keys. In some circumstances, Devise adds a `:timedout` key to the flash hash, which is not meant for display. Remove this key from the hash if you intend to print the entire hash.
### Configuring routes
Devise also ships with default routes. If you need to customize them, you should probably be able to do it through the devise_for method. It accepts several options like :class_name, :path_prefix and so on, including the possibility to change path names for I18n:
```ruby
devise_for :users, :path => "auth", :path_names => { :sign_in => 'login', :sign_out => 'logout', :password => 'secret', :confirmation => 'verification', :unlock => 'unblock', :registration => 'register', :sign_up => 'cmon_let_me_in' }
devise_for :users, path: "auth", path_names: { sign_in: 'login', sign_out: 'logout', password: 'secret', confirmation: 'verification', unlock: 'unblock', registration: 'register', sign_up: 'cmon_let_me_in' }
```
Be sure to check `devise_for` documentation for details.
