+# _limap_: A package for typesetting Information Maps
+
+The Information MappingĀ® method provides a methodology for structuring
+and presenting information. It claims to be useful for readers who are
+more concerned about finding the right information than reading the
+document as a whole. Thus short, highly structured, and context free
+pieces of information are used.
+
+_limap_ provides a LaTeX style and a LaTeX class. The style contains
+definitions to typeset maps and blocks according to the Information
+MappingĀ® method. The class provides all definitions to typeset a whole
+document.
+
+
+## Samples
+
+A few sample files are provided which contain dummy documents typeset
+with limap. They are contained in the sub-directory _samples_. You can
+have a look at the documentation of _limap_ itself to see another
+example.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+Most probably _limap_ is already included in your TeX distribution.
+Thus consult the documentation of your TeX distribution first to
+install or update this package.
+
+You can install the package manually. Apply the following steps:
+
+- Run LaTeX on `limap.ins`
+
+```
+ latex limap.ins
+```
+
+- Move the files `limap.cls` and `limap.sty` into a directory read by
+ LaTeX.
+
+- Run LaTeX and makeindex on `limap.dtx` to produce the documentation
+
+```
+ latex limap.dtx
+ makeindex -s gind.ist limap
+ makeindex -s gglo.ist -o limap.gls limap.glo
+ latex limap.dtx
+```
+
+
