+NAME
+  txt2pdf
+
+SYNOPSIS
+  txt2pdf [-h] (filename)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+  Reads a text file (if supplied as the first argument) and creates
+  a pdf file with the same name but with .pdf as extension in the
+  current directory via the program pdflatex (the only requirement
+  besides ruby itself). If "-h" is the first argument, then the program
+  displays the helptext and exits.
+
+  The program can also read the input text from STDIN (STanDard IN) and
+  create the pdf file in the user's home directory. When this method is
+  used, no argument is given to the program and the text is simply piped
+  directly into the program like this:
+
+    $ echo "Hello" | txt2pdf
+
+  This would create a pdf file with only "Hello" and the page number
+  at the bottom of the resulting pdf page.
+
+  With this, you could map a key binding in your window manager to
+  create a pdf file from the text you selected in any program, be it the
+  terminal, your browser or your text editor. In my wm of choice, i3,
+  I have added the following to my i3 config:
+
+    bindsym $mod+p exec xclip -o | txt2pdf
+  
+  This would create a pdf file from the text I have selected as I hit
+  the "Window button" and "p".
+
+OPTIONS
