DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xhtml2pdf command.

       xhtml2pdf is an HTML-to-PDF converter using the ReportLab Toolkit, HTML5lib and pyPdf.

       It supports HTML 5 and CSS 2.1 (and some of CSS 3). It is completely written in pure Python so it is platform independent. The main benefit
       of this tool that a user with Web skills like HTML and CSS is able to generate PDF templates very quickly without learning new
       technologies. Easy integration into Python frameworks like CherryPy, KID Templating, TurboGears, Django, Zope, Plone, Google AppEngine
       (GAE) etc.

       A summary of options is included below.

       SRC

       DEST
	   Name of the generated PDF file or - if you like to send the result to stdout. Take care that the destination file is not already opened
	   by an other application like the Adobe Reader. If the destination is not writeable a similar name will be calculated automatically.
