+Introduction
+------------
+
+The GLFW documentation is written in LaTeX.  Besides being powerful, LaTeX is
+also very attractive since all the necessary tools for dealing with LaTeX
+documentation are both free and ported to a wide variety of platforms. Another
+advantage is that the LaTeX files are written in plain text, which means that
+version control systems such as CVS handle them perfectly without having to
+treat the documents as binary files.
+
+
+The documents
+-------------
+
+There are two main documents:
+
+ glfwrm.tex - The GLFW Reference Manual
+ glfwug.tex - The GLFW Users Guide
+
+In addition, there is a common LaTeX style file that sets up things
+such as page formatting and useful macros:
+
+ glfwdoc.sty - Common GLFW document styles and macros
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+Of course you need LaTeX installed on your system in order to compile the GLFW
+documentation.  If you are using a Unix-like operating system, then your
+package system most likely has a version of LaTeX adapted for your system.  If
+not, the easiest way to get a full LaTeX system is to download/get the TeXLive
+CD from http://www.tug.org/texlive/.  It has all the necessary software for
+Windows, Mac OS X and most popular Unix-like operating systems.
+
+A number of LaTeX packages have to be installed in order to compile the
+GLFW documentation successfully:
+
+ color
+ fancyhdr
+ hyperref
+ lastpage
+ listings
+ needspace
+ textcase
+ times
+ titling
+
+These packages are all available on the TeXLive CD. Just make sure that
+you have checked all these packages when installing TeXLive, or get them
+in some other way if you do not have the TeXLive CD.
