+This explains the basics for using \LaTeX\ to typeset a dissertation,
+thesis or masters project or preliminary report for the University of
+Wisconsin-Madison. Chapter
+1 talks briefly about the thesis formatting at UW-Madison. Chapter 2 gives
+an overview of the ``essentials'' of \LaTeX{} and was written by Jon Warbrick.
+Chapter 3 talks about figures and tables and what a {\em float} is. Chapter 4
+briefly introduces the {\sc Bib}\TeX{} program. And finally, Chapter 5 discusses
+some of the details for using the {\tt withesis} style file. The material in
+Chapters 2-4 basically are a review of fundamental \LaTeX{} usage and form
+a reasonable basic tutorial.

+The style discussed in this manual was originally written by Dave Kraynie and
+edited by James Darrell McCauley as the {\tt puthesis} style for Purdue
+University's theses. This style was modified to form the {\tt withesis} style. This
+manual is largely based on a similar manual by James Darrell McCauley and Scott Hucker.
