Create an HTML viewer for an ordered gallery of images.
The program will take a series of paths to image files, sort them (by default), place them within an HTML template, and write the resultant file (by default to standard output). The result is an HTML document for browsing and viewing the images.
- Python v3.7+
- Jinja2 v2.9+
For building the documentation:
make,sh,gzip,stat- Groff
Make will place targets in a directory called data.
The default Make target will generate the gzipped man page
with the version number set to the current version number
and the date set to the last doc source modification time in UTC.
For setting the date reproducibly, it will use the last committer date
from Git, falling back to mtime if Git is not available.
make html will create an HTML version of this man page.
After running make, build the Python package (using Setuptools or a build frontend such as build).
galleryviewer [options] PATHS...
Provide the image filenames as arguments PATHS.
Or, better, from the Unix shell,
provide a glob pattern, like *.jpg or *.png,
which the shell will then expand into a list of filenames that match that
pattern.
The program outputs the viewer file as text.
Either use the --output option or the shell redirection operator, >,
to save it to a file such as "index.html".
Consult the docs for details.
