+Directory containing LaTeX-related files
+----------------------------------------

+
+This directory contains directories to various components the LaTeX part of
+the project. In a running project, it will contain the atleast the
+following sub-directories. Note that
+
+- The `src/` directory contains the LaTeX files that are loaded into
+  `paper.tex`. This includes the necessary preambles, the LaTeX source
+  files to build tables or figures (for example with TiKZ or PGFPlots), and
+  etc.  These files are under version-control and an integral part of the
+  project's source.
+
+- The `build/` directory contains all the built products (not source!) that
+  are created during the analysis and are necessary for building the
+  paper. This includes figures, plots, images, table source contents and
+  etc. Note that this directory is not under version control.
+
+- The `tikz/` directory is only relevant if some of the project's figures
+  are built with the LaTeX packages of TiKZ or PGFPlots. It points to the
+  directory containing the figures (in PDF) that were built by these tools.
+  Note that this directory is not under version control.
+
+The latter two directory and its contents are not under version control, so
+if you have just cloned the project or are viewing its contents on a
+browser, they don't exist. They will be created after the project is
+configured for the running system.
+
+When the full project is build from scratch (building the software,
+downloading necessary datasets, running the analysis and building the
+paper's PDF), the latter two directories will be symbolic links to special
+places under the Build directory.
+
+However, when the distributed tarball is used to only build the PDF paper
+(without doing any analysis), the latter two directories will not be
+symbolic links and will contain the necessary components for the paper to
+be built.
