+- CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/photobook

+## Install / Build
+
+The simplest way to install is to use either 
+[TeX Live](https://www.tug.org/texlive/)'s or [MiKTeX](https://miktex.org/)'s 
+standard way to install modules.
+
+
+Installing from source:
+```shell
+# get the source...
+$ git clone https://github.com/flynx/photobook.git
+
+# if desired, install in the user context...
+$ cd ./photobook
+$ make install
+```
+
+The `photobook` document class requires a set of modules to be installed
+for it to function, the full list is included in the docs and can be 
+generated and printed by calling:
+```shell
+$ make depends
+```
+
+For more info on `make` targets see the: [./Makefile](./Makefile)
+
+
+
+# Documentation
+
+Pre-built documentation can be found in the 
+[Github releases](https://github.com/flynx/photobook/releases/latest) or on
+[CTAN](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/photobook/photobook.pdf).
+
+
+A full book (dummy) example is included in [./examples/book/](./examples/book/) 
+and can be used as a reference / starting point.
+
+
+
+## Building documentation
+
+Building the reference from source is done by:
+```shell
+$ make pdf 
+```
+
+Build requirements for docs:
 - LaTeX tool chain (including: `lualatex`, `latexmk`, ..)  
   The simplest way to get started is [TeX Live](https://www.tug.org/texlive/), 
   either a full install or for specific modules see the _Packages_ section

 ## Notes
 
+- The main reference is maintained inline with the source [photobook.cls](./photobook.cls) 
+  thus it is both human-readable next to the code it documents and is 
+  used to build the `photobook.pdf`.
+  Extracting the documentation source (`photobook*.tex`) is done 
+  by [make](./Makefile) via [cls2tex.sh](scripts/README.md#cls2texsh) when 
+  building the docs, see them for more info.
 - There is a bug in default captions not being typeset correctly if too 
   long, a workaround is to place them in a `minipage` like this:

+
+To build a specific component:

+`block.pdf` in this case.

+Generate LaTeX block of pages/spreads from a directory tree.
+
+This was initially intended as a means to convert the exported directory 
+tree from an image viewer where image/text sequencing was done, but it 
+can also be used standalone.
+
+Goals:
+- Decouple layout, sequencing, images, processing and different texts 
+  to enable different people to work on them independently and in 
+  parallel,
+- Simplify editing the page/spread sequence,
+- Automate the build process.

+
+
+### Theory of operation
+
+<!-- XXX spreads vs. pages -->
+
+The system is designed to minimize the effort in laying out pages, so
+when designing a book the focus should be on global templates and on
+helping `make-spreads.sh` build them rather than trying to layout each
+spread individually.
+
+There are several ways to arrive at a book layout starting from the
+concept, through the edit, sequencing, structuring and the graphic
+design, we here will focus on the stage of the process where a body of
+work is starting to look like a book.
+
+When starting work on a layout it is good to at least have a basic
+understanding of the book's:
+- structure and how it may change,
+- general look (i.e. core templates),
+- exceptions from the above.
+
+In most cases all of the above will change in one way or another during
+the project's lifespan, and the main goal of this stage is to make this 
+change as efgortless as possible -- it's all about providing the freedom 
+to make changes instead of growing the work invested and thus making 
+change more and more expensive.
+
+The first question is what is the _structure_ of the book we are making?
+Will it have chapters? How many? Text? how much, how should it be 
+placed? How are we going to deal with the title? How are we going 
+to present the images, full bleed, no bleeds, small, big, one per page 
+or multiples, ...etc.? At this stage this is about the presentation, 
+the flow of the work and not about the actual design. How many typical 
+spreads (i.e. spread templates) should it have? A good number should be 
+small-ish, for example 3-4 spread templates is a good number, if you 
+count 10+ then you might be overcomplicating things, but note, there are 
+no rules, a book where each spread is individually and manually layed out 
+may work as well as a book with just a single template spread, but in 
+general for a photo book the focus is on the project and the layout 
+should work with it without overwhelming it.
+
+Have answers, good, now it's time to build those mock layouts and make
+them into basic templates.
+
+It would be simplest to start work with the basic templates provided by
+`photobook` (see: ../examples/spread templates/templates/) and rework 
+them when or if needed.
+
+The templates are split into two levels:
+- Page templates  
+  These are typical pages that makeup a spread, usually an
+  image page (`imagepage.tex`), a text page (`textpage.tex`), and an
+  optional empty page (`emptypage.tex`), `make-spreads.sh` can combine 
+  them to build spreads automatically.
+- Spread templates  
+  These typeset a spread and can be either automatically inferred from
+  the structure or manually selected.
+
+
+#### Automatic template inferencing
+
+If no explicit template is defined (see next section) `make-spreads.sh` 
+will try and infer a template based on the number of images in the 
+spread directory, if that is not possible the it will build a spread
+from page templates based on the sequence of first two image/text files.
+
+For example with the default settings and the templates defined above:
+
+```
+├── 01/
+│   ├── 0-DSC02439.jpg
+│   └── 1-intro.txt
+```
+
+Will use `imagepage.tex` and `textpage.tex` templates to build the spread,
+while the following:
+
+```
+├── 03/
+│   ├── 0-DSC02509-0.jpg
+│   └── 1-DSC02506-0.jpg
+```
+
+Will use `image-image.tex`.
+
+Note that if a spread template is not found `make-spreads.sh` fallback to 
+page templates, e.g. if we delete `image-image.tex` then `imagepage.tex` 
+will be used for both pages of the spread instead.
+
+If only one image/text file is provided then `make-spreads.sh` will set it
+on the right page of the spread using the appropriate page template and
+leave the left page blank.
+
+A black page uses `blankpage.tex` template if available, otherwise a
+trivial blank page is used:
+```latex
+\null
+\newpage
+```
+
+<!-- XXX
+Template search order:
+- spread directory
+- template directory
+-->
+
+
+#### Manual template selection
+
+A template can be selected manually by providing a file in the form:
+
+```bnf
+<template-name>.tpl
+```
+
+The content of this file is ignored and `templates/<template-name>.tex`
+will be used for that spread.
+
+Example:
+```
+├── 02/
+│   ├── fullbleed.tpl
+│   └── 1-DSC02511.jpg
+```
+
+Here `templates/fullbleed.tex` will be used.
+
+
+#### Template tweaking
+
+If the file `tweaks.tex` is present in the spread directory its contents
+are included in the built block at the start of that spread.
+
+This can be useful to _tweak_ the spread, for example to set page/font 
+color, tweak image positioning in some of the `photobook`'s template 
+spread macros (see: tweaking section in photobook.pdf).
+
+Example:
+```
+├── 00/
+│   ├── tweaks.tex
+│   └── 0-DSC02432.jpg
+```
+
+Note that this can both apply to a single spread as well as a set of 
+spreads, of example page or text colors are not reset automatically
+and will affect all subsequent spreads until manually reset (in a 
+different spread's `tweaks.tex` file), while `photobook`'s tweaks apply 
+only to a single page.
+
+
+#### Manual spread layouts 
+
+If `layout.tex` is present it will be included as the page layout/template.
+
+Any paths in the `layout.tex` should be relative to the location the
+built block .tex file will be located, usually to the project root.
+
+Template field substitution is done as for all other templates.
+
+
+### Templates
+
+A template is a LaTeX file with zero or more special fields defined.
+
+Field types:
+- `${IMAGE}` / `${IMAGE<number>}`  
+  Filled with image path.
+- `${CAPTION}` / `${CAPTION<number>}`  
+  Filled with caption file content
+- `${TEXT}` / `${TEXT<number>}`  
+  Filled with text file content
+
+Each field can be used more than once, the field value will be copied to
+each instance.
+
+Multiple fields of the same type can be provided and each will be filled
+with corresponding data in order, e.g. the third image filed will get
+the third image path. Note that we are talking of field order and not
+field number, this removes the need to constantly keep the field/file
+numbers matched when adding and removing files/fields, all one needs to
+do is keep the order the same.
+
+If a field is not filled it will be empty in the resulting `.tex`.
+
+Example template `templates/fullbleed.tex`:
+```
+\ImageSpreadFill{${CAPTION}}{${IMAGE0}}
+```
+
+
+### Image captions
+
+In general image captions are decoupled from the main layout to enable
+writers and editors to work on them externally.
+
+```bnf
+captions/
+├── <image-name>.txt
+└── ...
+```
+
+The captions folder name/location is controlled by the `$CAPTION_DIR` 
+environment variable.
+
+
+Inline captions are also supported:
+```bnf
+spreads/
+├── <spread>/
+│   ├── ...
+│   ├── 00-<image-name>.<ext>
+│   ├── 00-<image-name>.txt . . . . . . Local image caption
+│   └── ...

+An inline caption must have the same filename as the corresponding image
+but with a .txt extension.
+
+
+### Environment variables and configuration
+
+All the configuration options can be given in a configuration file as
+well as environment variables.
+
+Environment variables take precedence over the configuration file.
+
+The default `make-images.cfg` would look something like:
+```shell
+# if non-empty make-spreads.sh will add image paths to pdf notes...
+ANOTATE_IMAGE_PATHS=
+
+# file extensions to treat as text (separated with "|")
+TEXT_FORMATS=txt
+
+# file extensions to treat as images (separated with "|")
+IMAGE_FORMATS=jpeg|jpg|png|pdf|svg|eps
+
+# default directory spread definitions are located in...
+SPREADS_DIR=spreads/
+
+# if non-empty link link images to matching ones from this directory...
+# NOTE: this is ignored if --graphicx-path is passed or GRAPHICX_PATH 
+#		is set.
+IMAGE_HIRES_DIR=
+
+# directory where external captions are stored...
+CAPTION_DIR=captions/
+
+# root template directory...
+TEMPLATE_DIR=templates/
+
+# empty page template...
+EMPTY_PAGE=emptypage
+
+# text page template...
+TEXT_PAGE=textpage
+
+# image page template...
+IMAGE_PAGE=imagepage
+
+# spread templates...
+IMAGE_SPREAD=(
+        #
+        #   +------- number of found images
+        #  /     +-- template name
+        # /     /
+        [0]=text-spread
+        [2]=image-image
+)
+
+# if set (or --graphicx-path is passed) the images are identified by their
+# basename so as to let graphicx package resolve the paths internally.
+GRAPHICX_PATH=1
+```
+
+An explicit configuration file can be manually specified:
+```shell
+$ make-spreads.sh -c <path> ..
+```
+
+
+---
+
+`cls2tex.sh`
+------------
+
+Extract the documentation from photobook.cls which is used to build the 
+photobook.pdf reference manual.
+
+This makes it possible to keep the documentation and code it describes
+in the same place/file.
+
+The format is in part inspired by LaTeX's [.dtx](http://tug.ctan.org/info/dtxtut/dtxtut.pdf) 
+format but is far simpler and retains human readability with less effort.
+
+
+```shell
+$ cls2tex.sh --help
+```
+
+The `--help` says it all:
+<!-- :r !cl2tex.sh --help -->
+```
+Generate docs from latex package/class
+
+Usage:
+  cls2tex.sh [OPTIONS] [[INPUT] OUTPUT]
+
+Options:
+  -h | --help         Show this message and exit
+  -p | --prefix PREFIX
+                      Set the doc comment PREFIX (default: "%")
+  -s | --strip        Strip docs out
+  -n | --no-msg       Don't add the "generated with" message to output
+
+This will:
+  - read the INPUT
+  - keep lines starting with \def\<module-name>@[A-Z]\+
+  - keep lines starting with '%%'
+  - %%%%% Text -> \subsection{Text}
+  - %%%% Text -> \section{Text}
+  - %% >> code -> \begin{verbatim}code\end{verbatim}
+  - write the result to OUTPUT
+
+If no OUTPUT is given cls2tex.sh will write to stdout. If no INPUT
+is given cls2tex.sh will read stdin.
+
+PREFIX can replace the second "%" in the above patterns to make it
+possible to integrate multiple layers of documentation in one file
+and to integrate them in various ways, for example, in the photobook
+document class documentation "M" prefix is used to indicate
+meta-command docs, this enables us to document them in the relevant
+location (i.e. at the implementation) in source but move the docs to
+a unified location in docs, effectively decoupling the source and doc
+structure when needed.
+
+Strip mode is the reverse of of the default, it will strip out docs
+and empty lines, keeping only the actual code and code comments.
+
+NOTE: stripping will not remove non-doc comments.
+NOTE: the idea of keeping latex docs in a latex file is far simpler
+      than all the stuff crammed into .dtx, at least for my needs:
+          - keep the code readable
+          - keep the docs readable
+      in both the repo and in installed form, so .dtx is not used.
+```
