What's Changed in v0.1.2 🚀

This release introduces a massive visual overhaul and brings true academic capabilities to the engine while strictly maintaining our Zero-Config philosophy.

✨ Features

  • Academic Redesign: Completely overhauled the Typst engine layout inspired by professional ilm and typxidian templates. The body now uses premium Serif typography (Linux Libertine) while headings remain in modern Sans-Serif (Inter).
  • Zero-Config Bibliographies: The CLI now automatically detects refs.bib or bibliography.bib in your working directory and seamlessly injects a formatted References page at the end of the document.
  • Pandoc Citation Syntax: Natively supports standard markdown citations. You can now write [@knuth1984] directly in your README.md and the transpiler will securely handle the Typst linking (@knuth1984) under the hood.
  • Smart Numbering Removal: Removed forced native Typst heading numbering (1.1.). The engine is now 100% Markdown-First, allowing users to manually number their structures without conflict.
  • Repository Linkage: The "Generated by doc-engine-cli" footer text is now an active embedded hyperlink pointing back to the project repository.

📦 Installation

Update your CLI directly using pipx:

pipx upgrade doc-engine-cli

We are thrilled to announce the initial release of doc-engine-cli! 🎉

This tool aims to provide a frictionless way to generate premium, academic-grade PDF reports directly from your Markdown files, completely bypassing the need for complex LaTeX setups or lengthy configurations.

✨ Core Features

  • Zero-Config Magic: Automatically detects your README.md, extracts headings, and picks up your git config user.name for the author data.
  • Typst-Powered Backend: We use a pure Python setup calling the lightning-fast Typst compiler to render our premium templates.
  • Developer-First Typography: Included Inter (sans-serif) and Cascadia Code text out of the box, with built-in syntax-highlighted fences.
  • Academic Layout: Ready-to-go cover page, dynamic table of contents (TOC), and IEEE-inspired headers.

🚀 Installation (Recommended)

Since this is a CLI tool, we highly recommend installing it globally via pipx to keep your environment completely clean:

pipx install doc-engine-cli

🎯 Quick Start

Navigate to any directory with a markdown file and simply run:

doc-engine build --open
