+	\emph{Load the \texttt{hackthefootline} package only in \LaTeX\ beamer documents!} \\
+	The package itself depends on the following other packages:
+	
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{appendixnumber-}\DescribeMacro{beamer}
+	The \texttt{appendixnumberbeamer} package implements a simple solution for appendix frames not being calculated into the total number of frames
+	
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{etoolbox}
+	Provides access on \hologo{eTeX} primitives
+	
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{calc}
+	Required for basic calculations
+
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{numprint}
+	Prints out numbers, counters and lengths
+	
+	\bigskip
+	The dependencies can be removed completely by passing some options to the package. See section \ref{packageoptions} for further details.

+	
+	
+	\subsection*{Notice: Behaviour inside the presentation's appendix}
+	\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Notice: Behaviour inside the presentation's appendix}
+	By default, this package \emph{does not count appendix frames} into the total number of frames and resets the counter for frame numbers to 1 as soon as the \ltxcmd{\appendix} command is used. \\
+	Also, frame numbers won't be displayed on frames inside the appendix.
+	
+	\medskip
+	This behaviour can be avoided by passing the \texttt{countappendixframes} option to the package.

+	% DOCUMENTATION PART ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+	
+	\section{Using the package}
+	The \mintinline{LaTeX}{\usepackage[<Options>]{hackthefootline}} command loads the package\footnote{To do so, the package has to be installed in a way \LaTeX\ is able to find it}. The complete list of options can be found in section \ref{packageoptions}.
+	
+	\medskip
+	At least, you have to pass the \emph{footline's number of columns} as an option to the package \textit{(available: \texttt{onecol}, \texttt{twocols} or \texttt{threecols})}. If you don't do so, the footline gets removed.
+	
+	
+	\section{Package options} \label{packageoptions}
+	The \texttt{hackthefootline} package provides the following options:
+	
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{onecol}
+	The \enquote{initial footline hack} produces a one--column footline
+	
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{twocols}
+	The \enquote{initial footline hack} produces a two--column footline
+	
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{threecols}
+	The \enquote{initial footline hack} produces a three--column footline
+	
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{countappendix-}\DescribeMacro{frames}
+	If the \texttt{countappendixframes} option is passed to the package, appendix frames are counted into the total number of frames. \\
+	\textit{Removes following dependencies: \texttt{appendixnumberbeamer}, \texttt{etoolbox}}
+	
+	\medskip
+	\DescribeMacro{nofun}
+	Doesn't support frame numbers being shown as \enquote{percent of presentation} \\
+	\textit{Removes following dependencies: \texttt{calc}, \texttt{numprint}}
+	
+	
+	\section{Default configurations}	
+	\subsection*{One--column footline}
+	\begin{tikzpicture}
+		\draw (-.5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (.5\textwidth,-1.25ex);
+		\node[right] at (-.5\textwidth,0) {Short author, short institute:~~~~Short title};
+		\node[left]  at ( .5\textwidth,0) {1 / 1};
+	\end{tikzpicture}
+	
+	\subsection*{Two--column footline}
+	\begin{tikzpicture}

+	\end{tikzpicture}
+	
+	
+	\section{Defined templates}
+	The \texttt{hackthefootline} package defines templates with a variety of styles to provide easy personalisation. All defined templates are listed in table \ref{deftemplates}. Switching between different styles of a template is described in section \ref{switchingtemplates}.
+	
+	\begin{table} \centering\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.25}

+		\end{tabular}
+		
+		\caption{Defined templates and styles}
+		\label{deftemplates}
+	\end{table}
+	
+	\section{Switching styles} \label{switchingtemplates}
+	The styles of the templates at the initial hack are selected depending on the footline's default settings. \\
+	You are able to switch styles inside the \texttt{document} environment by \dots
+	\begin{enumerate}
+		\item changing the current settings using the commands listed in table~\ref{deftemplates} \textit{\textbf{and}}
+		%
+		\item applying the settings with the \ltxcmd{\hackthefootline} command. \par
+			  \textbf{Your changes to the footline's settings only apply when executing this command.}
+	\end{enumerate}
+	
+	\textit{Example:} \vspace{-.75em}
+	\begin{minted}[gobble=2,tabsize=4]{LaTeX}
+		\htflongdate		% Changes current settings ...
+		\htfauthinst
+		\hackthefootline	% ... and applies the changes
+	\end{minted}
+	
+	\bigskip
+	If a template is not shown in the current configuration (e.~g. the frame number in the two--column footline), just switch the style:
+
+	\medskip
+	\begin{tikzpicture}
+		\draw (-.5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (0,-1.25ex);
+		\draw ( .5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (0,-1.25ex);
+		\node[left]  at (0,0) {Short author};
+		\node[right] at (0,0) {Short title};
+	\end{tikzpicture}
+	\vspace{-1.5em}
+	\begin{minted}[gobble=2,tabsize=4]{LaTeX}
+		\htfcounterframenrs
+		\hackthefootline
+	\end{minted}
+	\begin{tikzpicture}
+		\draw (-.5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (0,-1.25ex);
+		\draw ( .5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (0,-1.25ex);
+		\node[left]  at (0,            0) {Short author};
+		\node[right] at (0,            0) {Short title};
+		\node[left]  at ( .5\textwidth,0) {1};
+	\end{tikzpicture}
+	
+	
+	\bigskip\bigskip
+	Also, a template shown in the current configuration can be \enquote{removed} by switching the style:
+	
+	\medskip
+	\begin{tikzpicture}
+		\draw (-.5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (0,-1.25ex);
+		\draw ( .5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (0,-1.25ex);
+		\node[left]  at (0,            0) {Short author};
+		\node[right] at (0,            0) {Short title};
+		\node[left]  at ( .5\textwidth,0) {1};
+	\end{tikzpicture}
+	\vspace{-1.5em}
+	\begin{minted}[gobble=2,tabsize=4]{LaTeX}
+		\htfnoauthinst
+		\hackthefootline
+	\end{minted}
+	\begin{tikzpicture}
+		\draw (-.5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (0,-1.25ex);
+		\draw ( .5\textwidth,1.25ex) rectangle (0,-1.25ex);
+		\node[right] at (0,            0) {Short title};
