===About This Project===

WebThumb is a command line utility that uses a simple markup language to generate bare-bones HTML image galleries.  It was written to simplify the process of taking a directory full of vacation photos and creating a web page with thumbnail links.

===Usage===

To use WebThumb:

# Create a file called '''webthumb.txt''' and place it in the directory with your image files.
# Copy and paste a list of the image files into the '''webthumb.txt''' file.
# Put a line at the top with the text '''\output=index.html''', or whatever file you want the HTML to go to.
# (optional) Type descriptions after the image file names.
# (optional) Add additional configuration settings after '''\output=...''' (see below).
# Run '''webthumb'''.
# Uploading the resulting HTML, source images, and '''thumbs/''' directory to your web server.

Configuration settings are listed by '''webthumb -h''':

 % webthumb -h
 
 Usage: webthumb [input file]
 Input file defaults to webthumb.txt.
 Syntax for input file:
 --------------------------
 IMAGE Image Caption : thumbnail IMAGE with caption 'Image Caption'
 --------------------------
 #<insert html here> : pass html straight through to output file
 --------------------------
 \variable=value     : set configuration variable
  output=FILE (specifies HTML file to write to, default stdout)

  width=NUM   (specifies max width of thumbnails, default 200)

  padthumbs   (pads all thumbnails to max height and width)
  padbgcol=C  (uses HTML color C as background for padded thumbnails
  imgattrib=A (inserts string A into image tags, i.e. <img A ...>
