+# latex-mimosis: A minimal & modern template for your thesis
+
+This repository contains a minimal & modern LaTeX template for
+dissertations and other university documents.
+
+For the impatient or curious: [this is how the template looks
+like](Thesis.pdf).
+
+# Advantages
+
+This template aims to be…
+- clean: no LaTeX trickery
+- minimal: no unnecessary adjustments and decorations
+- modern: typographically pleasing
+
+It is specifically suited for the European education system because it
+uses A4 paper size by default.
+
+# How to use
+
+- Clone this repository
+- Copy the file `mimosis.cls` into your document directory
+- Add `\documentclass{mimosis}` to your document preamble
+- Optionally copy the file `Thesis.tex` and the files in `Sources` as
+  a starting point
+- Use `latexmk` to build the document using `pdflatex`
+- Write a nice thesis in LaTeX
+
+# Example
+
+The repository comes with an example file called `Thesis.tex`. Please
+take a look at this file in order for more detailed instructions about
+how to use the class.
+
+It is recommended to use `latexmk` to build your LaTeX documents. Your
+distribution might already have this command. If so, you can use
+
+    latexmk
+
+in the main directory of this repository in order to build the example
+file.
