+## Structure
+
+1. Every example has to be in its own folder. The name of the folder should
+   tell the reader what the example shows.
+2. Contents of that folder:
+    1. Every example has to have a `Makefile` which contains all the commands
+       necessary to compile the document.
+    2. The main TeX file should have the same name as the folder.
+    3. Every example has to have a `README.md`. For images / graphic examples,
+       this should include the rendered image. For documents, there should be
+       some example text explaining what it is about.
+3. Use spaces for indenting.
+
