Markdown to PDF Converter

A simple Python script to convert Markdown files to PDF using the markdown_pdf library.

Description

This project provides a script (md_to_pdf.py) that takes a Markdown file as input and generates a PDF file.

Setup and Usage

1. Python Virtual Environment with pyenv

It is recommended to use a virtual environment to manage the project's dependencies.

Create a Virtual Environment:

First, ensure you have a compatible Python version installed via pyenv. If not, you can install one (e.g., 3.11.0):

pyenv install 3.11.0

Then, create a virtual environment for this project:

pyenv virtualenv 3.11.0 md-to-pdf-env

Activate the Virtual Environment:

To activate the environment, run:

pyenv activate md-to-pdf-env

You should see the environment name (e.g., (md-to-pdf-env)) in your shell prompt.

To deactivate the environment when you are finished, simply run:

pyenv deactivate

2. Install Dependencies

With your virtual environment activated, install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the Script

To convert a Markdown file to PDF, use the -i flag for the input file and the -o flag for the output file.

Example:

python md_to_pdf.py -i summary.md -o output.pdf

This will convert summary.md to output.pdf.
