Example

style impact {
    color: "#FFFFFF"
    outline: 4
    outlineColor: "#000000"
    fontWeight: "bold"
    textTransform: "uppercase"
}

style caption {
    color: "#000000"
    outline: 0
    fontWeight: "normal"
    textTransform: "none"
    background: "#FFFFFFCC"
}

@blank 720x720 impact { top: "Impact Style" } => "impact.png";
@blank 720x720 caption { bottom: "Caption Style" } => "caption.png";

Font Sizes

Preset	Approximate Size
`"sm"`	Small
`"md"`	Medium (default)
`"lg"`	Large
`"xlg"`	Extra large

Or specify exact pixel size:

style small_text { fontSize: 24 }
style huge_text { fontSize: 72 }

Background Color

The background property fills the area behind text. Use alpha for transparency.

style subtitle {
    color: "#FFFFFF"
    background: "#00000099"
    outline: 0
    textTransform: "none"
}

Inline Style

Styles can be applied after the template (and after any dimensions):

// Quick form: dimensions are optional
@blank cinematic "Movie Style" => "movie.png";

// Block form: dimensions are required when a style is used
@blank 720x720 cinematic { top: "Movie Style" } => "movie.png";

A style must be defined with style name { ... } before it can be referenced this way. There are no pre-defined style keywords.
