Do you have the man page? It appeared quite good and complete:

$man 5 interfaces

Here's an example:

       auto lo wlan0

       iface lo inet loopback

       iface wlan0 inet static
            address 192.168.55.5
            netmask 255.255.255.0
            gateway 192.168.55.4

I've modified that from the example given in the man page referenced above.
