Highlights

No LaTeX dependencies for generating the PDF.
3 available color-schemes: Basic, Solarized Light and Solarized Dark. More can be added easily through CSS.

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Generating the PDF is as simple as running:

python3 render.py <path-to-pages-directory> --color <color-scheme>

Complete information about the arguments can be viewed by running:

python3 render.py --help

The color-schemes that can be specified are:
