+### basic
+
+basic commands return just text.
+the text can end in 0 or 1 newlines but not multiple,
+else it will be interpreted as a dynamic config command.
+
+### dynamic config commands
+
+any config can be dynamically set by preceeding the text to be printed
+with TOML config:
+
+```
+template = "pat/to/templat.gif"
+font = "fonts/custom_font.bdf"
+text_offset = [20, 4]
+hello world
+```
+
+if you do not want to print any text,
+simply leave an extra blank/empty line
+(the text ends in two newlines)
+or a space character:
+
+```
+template = "pat/to/templat.gif"
+
+```
+
 ## config
 
 the provided [example config file](./config.toml) lists all the options that can be used.
