       weasyprint - Document factory for creating PDF files from HTML

VERSION

DESCRIPTION

       WeasyPrint is a smart solution helping web developers to create PDF documents. It turns
       simple HTML pages into gorgeous statistical reports, invoices, tickets, etc.

       From a technical point of view, WeasyPrint is a visual rendering engine for HTML and CSS
       that can export to PDF and PNG. It aims to support web standards for printing. WeasyPrint
       is free software made available under a BSD license.

       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.
