Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
Is there a reason you didn't consider something like Weasyprint?
https://weasyprint.org
I've gone through a number of systems to convert CV's, business cards, and other docs and it hasn't let me down yet.

CSS for Printing to Paper
You don't _have_ to use a browser. I had very good results with Weasyprint [0]. And there's also PrinceXML [1] if you're willing to pay.

Show HN: A new open-source library to design PDF using React
Thanks for your answer! I imagined you would be using PrinceXML behind the scenes since that is probably the gold standard in HTML+CSS rendering.
The only open source alternative I know of is WeasyPrint at https://weasyprint.org/. I'm not sure how well it fares against PrinceXML, though.
And thanks for the pointer to Taffy - I didn't know it before!

Htmldocs: Typeset and Generate PDFs with HTML/CSS
Flexbox support has been [included][1] since 2018, although my use case was the prototypical one - a single row w/ 3 columns - so YMMV with how it handles more complex layouts.

How to Simply Generate a PDF From HTML in Symfony With WeasyPrint
Performance is not the strength of WeasyPrint, meaning that heavy HTML files will increase generation time. You should always compress images before attaching them, as they are not compressed by default. Generating a 50-page-long PDF may take up to a minute in extreme cases, although multi-page documents generated on my project take fewer than 2 seconds to generate.

Show HN: Invoice Dragon – An Open Source App to Create PDF Invoices for Free
For Python there is Weasyprint: you prepare the invoice as an HTML document, and Weasyprint turns it into a PDF

The Gemini protocol seen by this HTTP client person (curl dev)
Well yes, but you can implement HTML+CSS. WeasyPrint did from scratch, and independent implementations of HTML+CSS are considerably more numerous than HTML+CSS+JS.

Library to convert HTML to pdf in Golang
In a recent project I used https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/ it is written in python, so you will need to use it like so:

RE: If you had to pick a library from another language (Rust, JS, etc.) that isn’t currently available in Python and have it instantly converted into Python for you to use, what would it be?
You should maybe check out weasyprint. https://weasyprint.org/

German state ditches Microsoft for Linux and LibreOffice
https://github.com/typst/typst looks promising, both the language and the tooling. I wonder where it will find its place in a world that is dominated by either Word or LaTex.

LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking
I hope in a couple of years we start seeing posts like these with Typst instead of LaTeX. It seems like setting this up would be a bit easier since Typst is much more concise than LaTeX.

I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim (2019)
For writing math notes (especially in vim), I switch to using Typst (https://typst.app).
Here's a few points:
- The syntax is a lot lighter and easier to type fast. I was up and running in half hour after starting to use it. Once in a while I can look up some symbol name in the docs but that's about it.
- Empty document is a valid document. No preambles, no includes etc, it's all optional and the defaults are sensible. Just start typing.
- It's incremental. Live preview from neovim is in the browser and it's lightning fast, pretty much immediate. No pdf sync pain. No build files, makefiles and all that. Just start typing.
While it's not going to beat latex in terms of serious academic use, for personal use and notes it's close to perfect.
(And of course it's written in Rust...)

I don't always use LaTeX, but when I do, I compile to HTML (2013)
Except the main theme, which was HTML export? https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/721
Though it's in the roadmap!

"LibreOffice is better at reading old Word files than Word"
I don't use LaTeX for anything these days but Typst popped up recently and seems like a decent alternative: https://github.com/typst/typst

Which software do you use to create presentations using Vim that is superior to existing ones?
I am surprised that no one mentions the typst. It is super smooth with typst-preview.
