+This repository contains styling for LaTeX and other applications that
+concerns [Fripost][1].
+
+[1]: https://fripost.org
+
+# Installation
+
+Run Make for compilation of DTX and INS LaTeX packaging:
+
+    make
+
+The LaTeX package is made locally available in *TEXMFHOME* through
+installation:
+
+    make install
+    make uninstall
+
+# Licence
+
+See *COPYING*
+
+# LaTeX Packaging
+
+LaTeX styles and classes, *.sty* and *.cls*, are traditionally shipped
+as bundles, *.dtx*. However, rather than writing the package files
+directly, there are alternatives that generate DTX from source style
+and documentation:
+
+ * [makedtx](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/makedtx) -- [makedtx v1.2: a Perl script to help create a DTX file
+   from source code](http://mirrors.ctan.org/support/makedtx/makedtx.pdf)
+
+ * [sty2dtx](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/sty2dtx)
+
+Fripost uses makedtx. Read the manual and see [*Makefile*](Makefile)
+for details of the compilation process.
