[reportlab-users] Markdown -- Just Curious

[Dinu Gherman]

I think I wrote something once to convert XML DocBook to PDF via ReportLab. Pretty sure it was never „finished“. Very sure it was never „published“.

The main issue I see with MarkDown is the number of flavours and lack of proper specifications. And also, some of the more interesting things are simply left to HTML. So essentially, it‘s only HTML for the lazy of us.

Cheers,

Dinu

There are lots of markdown-to HTML-to-PDF converters, and several of them are written in Python, but they're using rather large external libraries.  It seems like ReportLab would be ideal for this, and I'm just wondering whether it has ever been done before I embark on a project myself.
