# Installation

`$ pip install lenscap`

# Usage

Throw some high resolution photos into a `photos/` directory and then write
your essay in a markdown file. You can use regular markdown and specify your
photo layouts using fenced blocks.

The fenced in block uses simple yaml syntax to specify your meta data. All you
really need to do is tell it how many rows of photos you want and how many
photos are in each row. Then you list the files and lenscap does the rest.

So, if you want to have a 2 photos over 3, you'd say `rows: 2, 3`. If you want
a single image, you can skip the `rows` directive.

Lenscap will check that your photos are big enough in terms of resolution and
will refuse to continue if the photos are too small. You can also tell lenscap
to resize your high resolution photos to just the right size.

You invoke the `lenscap` command on your file:

```
$ lenscap kitten.md
```

And this will create a file called `kitten.html` in the same directory.

```
Usage: lenscap [options] files

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p DIR, --photos=DIR Directory with photos (default: photos/)
-t DIR, --templates=DIR Directory with templates (default: None)
-s FILE, --stylesheet=FILE Stylesheet file
-r, --resize Resize images (default: False)
```
