Example of Usage

Disclaimer: This is the basic usage of this script. Not all features are covered.

Organize your files into a folder containing the pictures to be typesetted, and a .txt file.

1.1 The .txt file must contain the text to be inserted, each line being one text layer to be added. You must use an identifier to separate the content of diferent files. It has to be a whole line, separating two different pages. The identifier can be anything, from ">>" all the way to "Page", and it can be placed at either the begginning or/and the end of the separating line. Also, you must insert the name of the file without the extension, to identify which file will receive which text.
