utilitarianism.net VS WeasyPrint

Check out the pinned post : ) Understanding [utilitarianism]((https://www.utilitarianism.net/) is a prerequisite for understanding negative utilitarianism, else if you're already familiar, proceed to the Negative Utilitarianism FAQ Those two are the most important. The rest can be skipped in the meantime. In the additional resources, I also added some articles that represent recurring topics in this subreddit.

The linked video briefly introduces utilitarianism.net, an open-access textbook on utilitarianism, endorsed by leading ethicists, that offers clear and accessible explanations of the key concepts in utilitarian ethics, as well as surveying the major arguments for and against the view. Supplemental resources include study guides and guest essays by experts in the field. We hope the site will prove a useful resource to anyone interested in learning more about the topic!

I've been loving Hugo. I built https://utilitarianism.net/ with it https://github.com/whyboris/utilitarianism.net

For my personal and dev sites I used to use Gatsby, but migrated to Hugo just this month: https://github.com/whyboris/homepage & https://github.com/whyboris/homepage-dev

I'm pleased with how little boilerplate Hugo actually needs. My personal websites have so few files to maintain / worry over :)

Is there a reason you didn't consider something like Weasyprint?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

For Python there is Weasyprint: you prepare the invoice as an HTML document, and Weasyprint turns it into a PDF

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.

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:
