+# A Poor Man's Subfigure for REVTeX
 
 A subfigure package that works with REVTeX.
+
+## Installation
+
+To use, simply put the
+`.sty` file somewhere where `TeX` will find it, such as next to you
+`.tex` file.
+
+## Usage
+
+```TeX
+\begin{figure*}
+  \begin{multifig}
+    \begin{subfigure}{\columnwidth}{\label{subfig:descriptive-label}Some
+        text label.}
+      \begin{center}
+        \includegraphics[width=.8\columnwidth]{example-image-a}
+      \end{center}
+    \end{subfigure}
+    \begin{subfigure}{\columnwidth}{\label{subfig:another-descriptive-label}Another
+        text label.}
+      \begin{center}
+        \includegraphics[width=.8\columnwidth]{example-image-b}
+      \end{center}
+    \end{subfigure}
+  \end{multifig}
+  \caption{\label{fig:beautiful-figures}As the discerning eye may have
+    spied, the figures \subref{subfig:descriptive-label} and
+    \subref{subfig:another-descriptive-label} have the potential to
+    rock the foundations of society.}
+\end{figure*}
+Total nonsense, but I couldn't think of anything better to demonstrate
+Figure \ref{subfig:descriptive-label} and \ref{subfig:another-descriptive-label}.
+
+This produces the below result...
+```
