export to PDF

[anibal-aguila]

Hi, great project and excellent documentation!
I’m wondering if there is a way to export all the documentation (e.g., docs-src/0.6) to a PDF file that can be read on an e-ink device. Since I spend a lot of hours in front of a screen, this would help reduce my exposure to screen light.

Thanks in advance!

We can make an adapter to export to PDF through Typst, but right now it's probably not worth it. And Typst doesn't yet have HTML export. Maybe later this all can work out somehow.

There could be some other libraries to convert HTML to PDF, but AFAIK this is hard and there is hardly anything available for this.

With Typst, since it's fully written in Rust, there is possibility to map Dioxus's Node tree to Typst's AST or something like that, and then it should just work.

One option would be to render every mdbook page on a single web page. You could then user the browser's print functionality.

For example, the w3 specs are one large page: https://www.w3.org/TR/wasm-core-1/
