HtmlDoc(3)

NAME

       Apache::AxKit::Language::HtmlDoc - deliver XHTML as PDF

SYNOPSIS

         AxAddStyleMap text/xhtml Apache::AxKit::Language::HtmlDoc

         # as last step in your processor chain, add:
         AxAddProcessor text/xhtml NULL

         # want custom HTMLDOC args? here we go:
         PerlAddVar AxHtmlDocOptions --linkcolor '#ff0000' --linkstyle plain

DESCRIPTION

       Go and get HTMLDOC (<http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/>) first, then you
       can convert any XHTML page into a quite nice looking PDF document. Be
       prepared to do some tweaking of your xhtml input, though, because HTML-
       DOC is HTML 3.2 only, it does not yet understand CSS and only some HTML
       4.0 (as of version 1.8.18). Using an extra XSLT stylesheet, it isn't
       all that hard to create HTMLDOC friendly input and you get nice
       results.

       You should not use this for mostly hand-crafted PDFs, for that see the
       PassiveTeX module, which converts XSL:FO to PDF. HTMLDOC has its
       quirks, sometimes it is a bit frustrating getting the output right. It
       pays off if you have lots of existing (or generated) HTML and want all
       of them to be PDF, but for a custom PDF like a bill, you have much bet-
       ter control with PassiveTeX.
