1 # Markdown to PDF 2 3 This is a markdown to pdf wrapper for [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/), its main 4 purpose is to generate a similar PDF to the one generated with 5 [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) by default. 6 7 ## Example output 8 9  10 11 ## Usage 12 13 ```sh 14 $ md2pdf 15 md2pdf [OPTIONS] <input>.md 16 OPTIONS: 17 -H, --style <file>.tex 18 -l, --lua-filter <file>.lua 19 -o, --output <file> 20 ``` 21 22 ## Dependencies 23 24 This is a [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) wrapper, so pandoc is the main 25 dependency. For generating the PDF pandoc mainly uses latex packages, so having 26 latex installed is required, in particular if you have Arch Linux the following 27 latex packages are recommended for a general build without errors: 28 29 ```console 30 sudo pacman -S texlive-fontsextra texlive-fontsrecommended texlive-langother 31 texlive-latexextra texlive-binextra texlive-plaingeneric texlive-formatsextra 32 ``` 33 34 The included `style.tex` file uses external fonts, for the base text and 35 sections titles the font [Inter](https://github.com/rsms/inter) is used (which 36 is similar to [Helvetica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica)) and [Fira 37 math](https://github.com/firamath/firamath) for the math fonts. Of course the 38 fonts are optional since latex already includes base fonts. 39 40 ## Installation 41 42 If you want to install this script to your system, copy the executable to 43 `$HOME/.local/bin` or to `/usr/bin` if you want to install it user-wide or 44 system-wide respectively. 45 46 - User wide: 47 ```console 48 $ cp ./md2pdf $HOME/.local/bin 49 ``` 50 51 - System wide: 52 ```console 53 # cp ./md2pdf /usr/bin 54 ```
