Md2Pdf

This script lets you create a nicely formatted document from a markdown source.

Primarily we created this script to enable us to quickly write markdown documents for offers for clients without worrying about layout and formatting and while being able to use a light weight text editor like vim, emacs, gedit, notepad whatever.

We have added a Dockerfile in case you do not want to install latex.

Use md2pdf help or --help to show help for options - should be self documenting

Run

docker run -it --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -v "$(pwd):/md2docs" -v ${HOME}/.md2doc:/home/.md2doc  --entrypoint bash westghost/md2pdf

(you'd probably want to put that in a script)

Since januari 2024 we have changed the Dockerfile to use /home has the home directory. This makes it necessary in the docker run command to change

-v ${HOME}/.md2doc:/.md2doc

to

-v ${HOME}/.md2doc:/home/.md2doc

reason: the pandoc command could not cope with / as a home directory
