From what I know about reportlab, there *is* an opensource pdf toolkit available under a bsd license (although I have never used it) There is, and it works well, although I haven't used it extensively. It has advanced features for text layout and pagination. However it's still low level compared to markdown-html converters and one has to spend some time writing a program to generate a document. It allows you to create bookmarks/toc, hyperlinks and all that fancy PDF stuff.. :o) And yes, this is all in the BSD licensed version.

yeah, still waiting for someone to show me some easy non-commercial library that can create a decent PDF out of either markdown, or HTML, or whatever... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.

[sqlalchemy] Re: SQLAlchemy 0.3.2 released
We use (or rather, are going to use) reportlab for that - of course, that's commercial. But, we did get a lot of mileage out of the programmatic open-source kit before that. There was an RML-like thing floating around not too long ago called tinyreport or openreport or something like thatnever looked at it in-depth as we needed things like PageCatcher, and I haven't seen anything in Python that could do something like that, although I think there are some Java tools that might. FWIW, the Reportlab guys have been great to work with.

Mike yeah, still waiting for someone to show me some easy Mike non-commercial library that can create a decent PDF out of either Mike markdown, or HTML, or whatever... Why not load the HTML into a web browser, print it, but select Save as PDF instead of completing the print? Are there distribution restrictions on such output?

Do you know a way to do that programmatically? Otherwise it would add quite a bit of work to the usual docs release process, which Michael has automated pretty successfully so far. And even if there was a way to do that programmatically, it still wouldn't look as good as the PDF output of a script specifically designed to format Markdown (or HTML or whatever) into PDF. -- Robin Munn [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key 0x4543D577 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.

I was looking for something similar a while ago and found Pandoc[1]. I've not actually used it though as the client decided not to use Markdown syntax. It has a command line script called markdown2pdf which might help.

[sqlalchemy] Re: SQLAlchemy 0.3.2 released
well id want the paging to line up correctly, get the TOC in there, stuff like that. otherwise theres not much advantage to PDF. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sqlalchemy group.
