This subcommand allows for the stylistic manipulation of the title and alt text. These texts can be stylized using the available chalk options.

Examples:

style the title text (text above image) with title option (-t or --title)
```
xk o -t bold.whiteBright.bgYellowBright
```
style the alt text (text below image) with the alt option (-a or --alt)
```
xk o -a bold.whiteBright.bgYellowBright
```

style both texts at once with the both option (-b or --both)

xk o -b bold.whiteBright.bgYellowBright,italic.greenBright.bgWhite

locate data store location
```
xk d
```

The value before the comma, bold.whiteBright.bgBlackBright, is applied to the title text, and value following the comma, italic.yellowBright, is applied to the alt text.
