Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : weasyprint Version : 43 Upstream Author : Simon Sapin <commun...@kozea.fr> * URL : https://weasyprint.org/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python Description : Visual rendering engine for HTML and CSS that can export to PDF
WeasyPrint is a visual rendering engine for HTML and CSS that can export to PDF. It aims to support web standards for printing. It is based on various libraries but *not* on a full rendering engine like WebKit or Gecko. The CSS layout engine is written in Python, designed for pagination, and meant to be easy to hack on. ----- WeasyPrint is useful on its own, especially as other options for generating pdf from html have often embedded unsupported or unmaintained embedded rendering engines (like webkit or gecko). It is also likely to be a dependency for an upcoming version of xml2rfc, for generating its PDF outputs, which is where i stumbled across it.
