ExDoc -- how to print more than 1 page? or alternatively how to combine into master file

[Bibek Pandey]

Admittedly this isn't a pure Elixir question.  But I figure I'd post it to the list in case someone can point me in the right direction.

I have an elixir project with about 35 ExDoc produced html files.

I would like to print these into a single PDF file so I can do proofreading easier.  I've noticed I'm only able to print a page at a time in whatever browser - Chrome, FIrefox. 

Any suggestions on easily being able to collate these html files into a single master file that I can print -- e.g. PDF

Don't know if ExDoc has an option to create PDFs..

Doing a cat *.html > master.html works fine, but the browser will show only the first file...

Cheers, Bibek

Maybe the epub branch works well enough to be usable?

If the epub branch isn't ready you could also check out the tools that this article links:

Hello, right now with the `epub` branch you can generate the EPUB document, the last time I tested this feature the document displayed correctly in iBooks, Calibre and Aldiko. Certainly, I need to work a lot to _improve the styles_ and other issues mentioned in the pull request.

If you find an error, please, leave a comment here: https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc/pull/319

I'll try to spend some spare cycles on this feature this weekend!

Have you tried pandoc? Generating PDF might be a little involved, but you easily convert any Html to docx, markdown etc and take it from there.

Thanks Bernd and everyone else for all the tips, I greatly appreciated it.

I ended up going with pandoc.  Simply because pandoc is supported out of the box.

+1 for the haskell folks for writing it.  +1 for the elixir-core folks for embracing it.

I got the pdf option to work with pandoc after installing all the required texlive libraries on my xubuntu setup

I found the lualatex engine produced about the same pdf files as the others but had the smallest size

pandoc test.html -o test.latex
pandoc test.latex --latex-engine=lualatex -o test.pdf

While the pdf file doesn't look perfect, it will do :) It managed to preserve text that I've backticked and also shows module functions w/ arity in blue.

The epub3 option worked pretty okay too -- as it maintainained some links.

I've attached a small pdf file so you can see the output.

Oh and since I'm +1'ing..   +1 for Donald Knuth for being Donald Knuth.

Cheers
