LabelNation is a program for making labels.  By "label", I mean
address labels, business cards, or anything else involving
regularly-arranged rectangles on a printer-ready sheet.  You can even
use it to make a calendar (that took some work, though).

Here's the basic concept: you tell LabelNation what text you want on
each label (i.e., each rectangle).  You can specify plain lines of
text, or even arbitrary PostScript code.  You also tell it what kind
of labels it should print for.  LabelNation takes all this information
and produces a PostScript file, which you then send to your printer.

Of course, you'll need a PostScript printer (or a PostScript filter,
such as GNU GhostScript), and a sheet of special peel-off label paper
in the tray.  Such paper is widely available at office supply stores.
Two companies that offer it are Avery Dennison (www.averydennison.com)
and Maco (www.maco.com).  This is not a recommendation or an
endorsement -- Avery and Maco are simply the names I've seen.

PostScript viewing software also helps, so you can see what your
labels look like before you print.

How To Use It:
==============

Let's start with return address labels.  If you wanted to print a
sheet of them using the Avery 5167 standard (80 small labels per
page), you might invoke LabelNation like this:

   prompt\$ labelnation -t avery5167 -i myaddress.txt -l -o myaddress.ps

The "-t" stands for "type", followed by one of the standard predefined
label types.  The "-i" means "input file", that is, where to take the
label data from.  The "-l" stands for "lines input", meaning that the
format of the incoming data is lines of text (as opposed to PostScript
code).  The "-o" specifies the output file, which you'll print to get
the labels.

Here is a sample label lines file:

        J. Random User
        1423 W. Rootbeer Ave
        Chicago, IL 60622
        USA

Note that the indentation is significant -- the farther you indent a
line, the more whitespace will be between it and the left edge of the
label.  Three spaces is a typical indentation.  Also note that blank
lines are significant -- they are printed like any other text.

You can have anywhere from 1 to 5 lines on a label.


How To Print A Variety Of Addresses:
====================================

An input file can also define many different labels (this is useful if
you're running a mailing list, for example).  In that case, instead of
iterating one label over an entire sheet, LabelNation will print each
label once, using as many sheets as necessary, leaving the unused
remainder blank.

To print many labels at once, you must pass a delimiter with the "-d"
flag.  The delimiter separates each label from the next.  For
example, if you use a delimiter of "XXX", then you might invoke
LabelNation like so

   prompt\$ labelnation -d "XXX" -t avery5167 -l -i addrs.txt -o addrs.ps

where addrs.txt contains this

        J. Random User
        1423 W. Rootbeer Ave
        Chicago, IL 60622
        USA
   XXX
        William Lyon Phelps III
        27 Rue d'Agonie
        Paris, France
   XXX

(remember that all my examples are indented three spaces in this help
message, so the content above is actually indented only three spaces
in the file, while the XXX delimiters are not indented at all). 


How To Discover The Predefined Label Types:
===========================================

To see a list of all known label types, run

   prompt\$ labelnation --list-types
   Predefined label types:
      Avery-5160 / Avery-6245 / Maco-LL5805  (30 labels per page)
      Avery-5167 / Maco-LL8100               (80 labels per page)
      [etc...]

Note that when you're specifying a label type, you can omit the
capitalization and the hyphen (or you can leave them on -- LabelNation
will recognize the type either way).

A bit farther on, you'll learn how to define your own label types, in
case none of the built-in ones are suitable.


What To Do If The Text Is A Little Bit Off From The Labels:
===========================================================

Printers vary -- the label parameters that work for me might not be
quite right for your hardware.  Correcting the problem may merely be a
matter of adjusting the bottom and/or left margin (that is, the
distance from the bottom or left edge of the page to the first row or
column, respectively).

The two options to do this are

   prompt\$ labelnation --bottom-margin N --left-margin N ...

where N is a number of PostScript points, each being 1/72 of an inch.
(Of course, you don't have to use the two options together, that's
just how it is in this example.)  The N you specify does not add to
the predefined quantity, but rather replaces it.

In order to know where you're starting from, you can ask LabelNation
to show you the parameters for a given label type:

   prompt\$ labelnation -t avery5167 --show-parameters
   LeftMargin      14
   BottomMargin    17
   LabelWidth      126
   LabelHeight     36
   HorizSpace      22.5
   VertSpace       0
   HorizNumLabels  4
   VertNumLabels   20
   FontName        Times-Roman

The first two parameters are usually the only ones you need to look
at, although the others may come in handy when you're defining your
own parameter files.  Which brings me to the next subject...


How To Print Labels That Aren't One Of The Predefined Standards:
================================================================

Use the -p option to tell LabelNation to use a parameter file.  A
parameter file consists of lines of the form

   PARAMETER   VALUE
   PARAMETER   VALUE
   PARAMETER   VALUE
   ...

You can see valid parameter names by running

   prompt\$ labelnation -t avery5167 --show-parameters

as mentioned earlier (it doesn't have to be avery5167, it can be any
built-in type).  Keep in mind that a "parameter file" is for
specifying the dimensions and arrangement of the labels on the sheet,
*not* for specifying the content you want printed on those labels.


How To Use Arbitrary Postscript Code To Draw Labels:
====================================================

If your input file contains PostScript code to draw the label(s),
instead of lines of label text, then pass the "-c" (code) option
instead of "-l".

The PostScript code will be run in a translated coordinate space, so
0,0 is at the bottom left corner of each label in turn.  Also,
clipping will be in effect, so you can't draw past the edges of a
label.  Normally, you will have to experiment a lot to get things just
right.

You can still print multiple, different labels at
once -- delimiters work just as well in code files as in linetext
files.
