Another option could be something like 

$ curl https://www.ahuka.com/gimp/patterns-and-gradients/ | \
pandoc --from html --to markdown | \
sed -e '1,/content role=\"main\"/ d' | \
pandoc --from markdown --output output.pdf   

If you know enough about pandoc and CSS, you could apply any number of styles 
during the PDF processing. Otherwise, the default formatting is pretty nice.

[Hpr] PDF files

2021-04-09 Thread Kevin O'Brien
Ken has mentioned wanting PDF files for the tutorials I have done. While
the ultimate solution may require more work, I have made a stop-gap
solution by installing a WordPress plugin that puts a button on each page
that says "Save as PDF". It works pretty well, but it does put a watermark
on each page that says "Demo". I will figure out something better at some
point, but anyone who wants a PDF can get one now. Just use the link in the
show notes to get the page URL, and look on the bottom of the page. For
blog posts, you have to go to the permaddress page for each post.

My longer range plan is to have a "book" for each collection of tutorials,
such as LibreOffice Writer as one book, LibreOffice Calc as another, GIMP
as a third, and so on. And I'll probably get an episode out of that process.

Regards,
