spectaql VS pandoc

I've also used spectaql before to auto generate graphql docs.

Other than that, SpectaQL is also a good tool that is well maintained.

Hi All, Wanted to share that we officially released v1.0 of SpectaQL

It gets downloaded thousands of times per week on NPM

Last year, Anvil introduced SpectaQL to the opensource community, and it's been a big success. We've seen thousands of weekly downloads and a healthy amount of user support and interest via GitHub.

A while back we introduced SpectaQL to the open source community and it's been a big success. It gets thousands of weekly downloads, has a healthy amount of user support and interest via github, and has had a number of articles written about it like this one and this one. Our goal for SpectaQL has always been to be the de-facto go-to library to use for auto-generating static HTML documentation for any GraphQL API. A very important feature of SpectaQL is its ability to "hide" any parts of your API that you don't want to expose in your documentation. This sounds like a simple task, but in practice it's actually a bit tricky. In order to make interacting and manipulating a GraphQL schema easy, we developed a tool designed specifically for this purpose. Eventually we realized that while this tool was super integral to SpectaQL, it would also be useful for other applications so we decided to break it out into its own library and open source it! In this post, I'll introduce Microfiber and give an overview of its most interesting features and capabilities.

For this, we'll be using a library called SpectaQL, which is based on the popular library Spectacle that works with Open API and Swagger specifications. SpectaQL can be installed globally on your machine from npm:

GraphQL is a popular and powerful way to build your APIs and power your website; we use it for most of our APIs at Anvil. One of the best things about GraphQL is that it provides an Introspection Query capability which allows users to explore and learn about what's possible in a given API. In that way, GraphQL is "self-documenting". Some great tools like Playground and Anvil's own SpectaQL leverage the Introspection Query.

I haven't tried it myself, but I recently heard about SpectaQL and it seems worth a look.

My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.

I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

This is one of those things that the ever-amazing pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does very well, on top of supporting virtually every other document format.

Folks feel the same way about Markdown versus LaTeX: why use something significantly more complicated where a looser, human-readable grammar works better?

For any other situations, I use https://pandoc.org/, or, generate a Word doc scriptomatically.

Congrats on the launch, I guess, but there are so many free options that I can't think of a situation where paying $0.25 per document would be justified...? Just to name a few:

Back in the days, I used to use XSL-FO [0] and it was okay. It was not very precise but it rarely if ever broke, and was perfectly integrated with an XML/XSLT solution. Yeah, this was a long time ago.

Last month I used html-to-pdfmake [1] and it's also not very precise and more fragile, but very efficient and fast.

Yet another approach would be to pro grammatically generate .rtf files (for example) and use Pandoc [2] to produce PDFs (I have not tried this in production but don't see why it wouldn't work).

Others have mentioned static site generators. I like Hakyll [1] because it can tightly integrate with Pandoc [2] and allows you to develop custom solutions if your needs ever grow.

Have you compared it with a conversion by pandoc (https://pandoc.org/)?

I have used it to kickstart a blogging project that I wish to come back to soon. The Lua inter-op for custom readers, writers and filters is great but I wish there was more editor integration and even perhaps an official IDE/editor with built-in debugging features (probably something already do-able with Emacs but I haven't checked). The only blocker for my project is no support for "ChunkedDoc" for Lua filters [1] which forces me to write more code and a complicated Makefile.
