baudelaire 0.1.0

Take a poem and make it an Instagram post

Create Instagram posts from your plaintext poetry in seconds.

Installation

pip install baudelaire

Usage

baudelaire "<plaintext-input>" -o "<output-directory>" -c "<config>"

For example:

baudelaire -o "outputs" "$(cat "poem.txt")"

[!note] The input is expected to be a plaintext poem, so you can write the contents directly in the command line or cat them from a plaintext file.

The text will be written to the specified output directory as poem_part-*.png files. There is a default configuration file which is distributed as a part of the package.

You can give it a try by using Dylan Thomas' Do not go gentle into that good night:

baudelaire -o "outputs" "$(cat "tests/rage.txt")"

Configuration

The default config is available in the repository under config/default.yaml. Check out the comments to understand what each configuration option does.

[!note] If you change the font you might need to tweak other parameters like the number of lines per board. It's recommended to create a separate config per template.
