  • mdbook-pdf: A mdBook backend for generating PDF files

    mdBook allows you to create book from markdown files. It's pretty much alike Gitbook but implemented in Rust. However, unlike Gitbook that supports using calibre for generating PDF, for a long time, mdBook doesn't support generating PDF files natively, and supporting that is also not in their roadmap. Existing plugins (backends) such as mdbook-latex that utilize Tectonic as well as pandoc solutions will generate a PDF page that doesn't unify with the existing mdBook generated HTML version. Considering these facts, I created a mdBook backend named mdbook-pdf for generating PDF based on headless chrome and Chrome DevTools Protocol Page.printToPDF.
