# verseslides.sty
A LaTeX helper to output verse as images, suitable for posting to social media platforms like Instagram.
Requires ImageMagick to be installed and the `magick` executable to be available.
Your compile command should also include the `-shell-escape` option, e.g.
```
xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex
```
The `verseslide` command creates a [verse](https://texdoc.org/serve/verse.pdf/0) environment, so that's the syntax you should use.
## Usage
Add `verseslides.sty` and `texture.jpg` to your LaTeX project directory or into your system texmf directory.
The following basic example shows the helper in use:
```tex
\documentclass[
convert={
density=1500,
size=1080x1080,
outext=.png,
convertexe={magick}
},
multi=slide,
margin=1.5cm,
tikz,
12pt
]{standalone}
\usepackage{verseslides}
\begin{document}
\sbox0{multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem,} % measure width
\verseslide{
Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris\\
Italiam, fato profugus, Laviniaque venit\\
litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto\\
vi superum saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram;\\
multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem,\\
inferretque deos Latio, genus unde Latinum,\\
Albanique patres, atque altae moenia Romae.\\!
}
\end{document}
```
Simply add a new `\verseslide{ ... }` for each image you want to produce.
The resulting image will look something like this:
