photobook
=========
[LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) document class for making photo books.
## 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
in [photobook.cls](./photobook.cls),
- Un\*x-like environment (`bash`, GNU Make, coreutils, ...),
on Windows systems, either [Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com/) or
[WSL/WSL2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux)
should work fine.
## Build / Install
The package is available on:
- CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/photobook
- GitHub: https://github.com/flynx/photobook
To install 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
```
If only building the docs is required without installing:
```shell
$ make pdf
```
For more info on `make` targets see the: [./Makefile](./Makefile)
## Notes
- 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:
```latex
\imagecell{%
\begin{minipage}{\cellwidth}%
long caption text...
\end{minipage}%
}{some-image}
```
(still working on a solution for this).
- `photobook` is mostly used with `lualatex`, other engines are mostly
supported but some features may misbehave.
