+Squib tries to keep you DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) with the following features:
 
-* Custom layouts allow you to specify various arguments in a separate file. This is great for x-y coordinates and alignment properties that would otherwise clutter up perfectly readable code. Yaml's "merge keys" takes this a step further and lets you specify base styles that can then be extended by other styles.

Yaml's "merge keys" takes this a step further and lets you specify base styles that can then be extended by other styles. Squib goes even further and has a special "extends" that works especially well for grouped-together styles.
 * Flexible ranges and array handling: the `range` parameter in Squib is very flexible, meaning that one `text` command can specify different text in different fonts, styles, colors, etc. for each card. If you find yourself doing multiple `text` command for the same field across different ranges of cards, there's probably a better way to condense.
-* Custom colors keep you from hardcoding magic color strings everywhere. Custom colors are entered into the `config.yml` file.
