🎉 Usage

Using semtools_parseout is simple. The basic command format is:

parseout <out_dir> <files...>

This command lets you specify where to save your parsed files and which documents to parse.

📄 Examples

Here are some common tasks you might perform:

Parse a Single PDF

To parse a single PDF document, use the following command:

parseout ./parsed document.pdf

Parse Multiple PDFs

To parse multiple PDF documents at once from a folder, run:

parseout ./parsed scotus_118/*.pdf

🔍 How It Works

The semtools_parseout script acts as a wrapper around the parse function. When you run semtools_parseout, it calls parse, which generates parsed Markdown files. These files are initially stored in ~/.parse/. The wrapper then copies them to the output directory you specify.

📁 Output Files

After you run the command, you will find the parsed Markdown files in your specified output directory. You can view, edit, or use them as needed.

📋 Additional Features

• Friendly and easy-to-use interface.
• Compatible with various PDF formats.
• Fast and efficient parsing without losing content quality.

💡 Tips

• Always check if you have installed semtools correctly before running semtools_parseout.
• Make sure your terminal is open and you have the right permissions for creating directories and files.
• Keep your document paths organized to avoid confusion.
