DESCRIPTION

       Djvubind  facilitates  creating high-quality djvu files, especially digital versions of scanned books. It
       functions as a wrapper that combines the djvulibre tools, minidjvu, and various ocr engines to provide  a
       simple, single command creation of a djvu file.

TITLE EXAMPLES

       Suppose  your  directory  contains  the following: page_000.tif, page_001.tif, page002.tif, page_003.tif,
       page_004.tif

           command: djvubind --title-start=page_002.tif
           titles:  i, ii, 1, 2, 3

           command: djvubind --title-start=page_002.tif --title-exclude=page_003.tif:blank
           titles:  i, ii, 1, blank, 2

       Front and back cover images, if present, are automatically given titles of "cover" and "back cover".   If
       --title-start is not given, no pages will be titled.

OPTIONS

       --bookmarks=<filename>
           Specifies an alternate bookmarks file.  The format of this file should be similar to what is produced
           by "djvused -e 'print-outline'".  By default, "bookmarks" is used if present.

       --cover-front=<filename>
           Specifies an alternate front cover image.  By default, "cover_front.jpg" is used if present.

       --cover-back=<filename>
           Specifies an alternate back cover image.  By default, "cover_back.jpg" is used if present.

       --metadata=<filename>
           Specifies  an alternate metadata file.  The format of this file should be similar to what is produced
           by "djvused -e 'print-meta'".  By default, "metadata" is used if present.

       --no-ocr
           Images will not be processed for text content.

       --ocr-engine=(tesseract|cuneiform)
           Specifies which ocr engine to use.  Tesseract is the default.

       --tesseract-options=<string> --cuneiform-options=<string>
           Passes custom options to the respective ocr engine (see their manpages for options).

       --title-start=<filename>
           Prior to this image, pages will be titled with roman numerals (i, ii, iii...).   Starting  with  this
           page, they will be titled with arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...)

       --title-uppercase
           Roman numeral titles will be in uppercase (I, II, III...).

       --title-exclude=<filename>:<string>
           This  image  will  not  be included in sequential page titling.  If you want a unique title, append a
           colon and the title.

       -q | --quiet
           No status information will be given.

       -v | --verbose
           Additional information will be given, which is intended to help debugging.
