    I get that people don't like the braces in TeX but ... :-)

    I'm only half sarcastic here, I don't like them either. I have recently been using pandoc[1] to do the things they are talking about, I had added some stuff in perl using the Template Toolkit[2] to make HTML pages. My issue is that I have very different fugue states for writing vs. coding. Switching states breaks my flow so I've been trying to make the two modes as orthogonal as possible.

    I'm curious if anyone has used something like this to go straight to PNG. My use case is that I have a surplus epaper display that can display pngs it fetches from the network and I've been forwarding it my todo list. Have been doing this with a LuaTeX flow but would like something a bit more seamless.

    wkhtmltopdf is not chromium though? "Wk" literally stands for WebKit.

    There's also https://weasyprint.org/ which doesn't use any browser engine, but rather a custom renderer.

    And both of those (and Prince) can be used as a backend by Pandoc (https://pandoc.org/)

    I think TFA is unfair wrt pandoc's dependencies. I'm not sure if the listed "ecosystem" is what you need to build pandoc from source, or just the result of shitty packaging of pandoc from the OS package maintainers.

    For the record, the .deb download from [1] gives you a 146MB statically linked pandoc executable that depends only on libc6 (>= 2.13), libgmp10, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4).

    Another option is Quarto [1]. It's basically a friendly wrapper around Pandoc [2], letting you write in Markdown (+ lots of Quarto-specific extensions) and render to LaTeX, Typst, multi-page HTML, EPUB, docx, and more.

    To be fair, one there's a good one there's much less incentive to write something new. In this case the good converter is Pandoc: https://pandoc.org/

    There are a handful of excellent command-line tools, and Pandoc comes to mind. It is not just a one-trick pony, too. With Pandoc you can convert between many different formats.
