%%%% Introduction
%
%% XXX parameters, page spreads, templates, cell concept, ...
%% \LaTeX is great with textual and text-primary content with figures
%% peppered in, as long as pictures/figures flow within, with or as part
%% of text, vanilla \LaTeX is fantastic.
%%
%% One can relatively easily streatch the flow concept to more complex
%% layouts introducing even and odd pages (|book| class as one example)
%% and flow rules based on them, but the next step, bleeds, combining page
%% pairs into spreads as is often needed when designing image-oriented
%% books is lacking. Full-bleed images/pages can be implemented manually,
%% some more effort is needed to split something horizontally into a page
%% spread, but doing so for whole book's worth of content is not practical --
%% automating and experimenting with this process is how |photobook| began.
%%
%% |photobook| extends the |book| class adding page layout types, bleeds
%% and other global geopetry configuration, introduces the page and
%% spread as first-class elements into the document flow. These concepts
%% are generalized as |cell|s. A |cell| is similar to a figure, it can
%% be placed within the document flow, but unlike a figure a |cell| can
%% be aligned relative to a page, it can fill a page, a cell can even be
%% horizontally split to fill several pages (how spreads are implemented).
%%
%% On top of the |cell|, page and spread concepts |photobook| also builds
%% a set of configurable high level macros/templates for common use cases
%% like full bleed image spreads, etc.
