 and headline. The script now also asks for a **URL** and a **Tear-off link**.

+By default the script updates `src/config.json`. Use the `-c` option to specify a different file. After answering the prompts (or extracting from the PDF), `index.html` and `nostr.html` are generated and copied along with the QR code images and PDFs. The files end up in `host/<subdomain>` which can be served statically.
 
 QR codes are built automatically during this process. After the configuration is updated, `create_flyer.sh` calls `generate_qr.sh` to read the URLs from `config.json` and produce `qrcode-content.png` and `qrcode-tear-offs.png`.
