## The book6 utilities
### Usage note
All the utilities are written in Python 3 and should work on most common
operating systems (but have mainly been tested on Windows 10). They mainly
use `tkinter` to provide a nice user interface with options. If invoked on
the command line with the book6 directory path as a parameter, they will
run with default options. For example:
```
python3 makeBook.py
```
will get you a GUI, but
```
python3 makeBook.py ~/whatever/book6
```
will just run.
### makeBook
This program is applied to the entire book6 directory

this is signaled by a dummy line: `backslashpagebreak`.
This is converted later to a genuine pagebreak.
Conversion to an eBook format is under investigation.
Further info is in the `pdf` directory.
