This plugin will generate a single PDF file from your MkDocs repository.
This plugin is inspired by [MkDocs PDF Export Plugin][mkdocs-pdf-export-plugin].

## Features

* Cover and Table of Contents integrated in the PDF
* Automatically numbers on heading(h1-h3).
* Shift down sub-page headings level.
* using [WeasyPrint][weasyprint].

## Samples

* [PDF of _'MkDocs' docs_][sample_mkdocs]
* [PDF of _'Material for MkDocs' docs_][sample_mkdocs-material]

[sample_mkdocs-material]: https://github.com/orzih/mkdocs-with-pdf/blob/master/samples/mkdocs-material/README.md

## Requirements

1. This package requires MkDocs version 1.0 or higher (0.17 works as well)
1. Python 3.6 or higher
1. WeasyPrint depends on cairo, Pango and GDK-PixBuf which need to be installed separately. Please follow the installation instructions for your platform carefully:
    * [Linux][weasyprint-linux]
    * [MacOS][weasyprint-macos]
    * [Windows][weasyprint-windows]

## How to use

### Installation

1. Install the package with pip:

    ```bash
    pip install mkdocs-with-pdf
    ```

2. Enable the plugin in your `mkdocs.yml`:

    ```yaml
    plugins:
        - with-pdf
    ```

    More information about plugins in the [MkDocs documentation][mkdocs-plugins].

#### Testing

When building your repository with `mkdocs build`, you should now see the following message at the end of your build output:

> Converting 10 articles to PDF took 7.1s

##### ... and more

* `output_path`

    This option allows you to use a different destination for the PDF file.  
    **default**: `pdf/document.pdf`

* `custom_template_path`

    The path where your custom `cover.html` and/or `styles.scss` are located.
    **default**: `templates`  
    _**since**: `v0.8.0`_

* `enabled_if_env`

    Setting this option will enable the build only if there is an environment variable set to 1. This is useful to disable building the PDF files during development, since it can take a long time to export all files.  
    **default**: `None`

    PDF generation can take significantly longer than HTML generation which can slow down mkdocs's built-in dev-server.

    Adding `enabled_if_env: ENABLE_PDF_EXPORT` under `- with-pdf:` disables PDF generation during development.  Run the dev-server normally:

    ```sh
    $ mkdocs serve
    INFO    -  Browser Connected: http://127.0.0.1:8000/
    INFO    -  Running task: builder (delay: None)
    INFO    -  Building documentation...
    WARNING -  without generate PDF(set environment variable ENABLE_PDF_EXPORT to 1 to enable)
    ... 2 seconds later ...
    INFO    -  Reload 1 waiters: /.../index.md
    ```

    and to build files to deploy specify `ENABLE_PDF_EXPORT=1` at the command line:

    ```sh
    $ ENABLE_PDF_EXPORT=1 mkdocs build
    ...
    INFO    -  Converting 10 articles to PDF took 7.1s
    INFO    -  Documentation built in 8.29 seconds
    ```

* `debug_html`

    Setting this to `true` will out HTML to `stdout` on build time.  
    **default**: `false`

    You can try this:

    ```bash
    mkdocs build > for_pdf_print.html
    ```

    ...and browse output with Google Chrome. [Chrome DevTools Into Print Preview Mode](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/css/print-preview) will you help.

    Note: WeasyPrint and Google Chrome are not fully compatible.

* `show_anchors`

    Setting this to `true` will list out of anchor points provided during the build as info message.  
    **default**: `false`  
    _**since**: `v0.7.4`_

* `verbose`

    Setting this to `true` will show all WeasyPrint debug messages during the build.  
    **default**: `false`

## Custom cover page and document style

It is possible to create a custom cover page for the document.
You can also add a custom style sheet to modify the whole document.

To do so, add a `templates` folder at the root level of your `mkdocs` project and place a `cover.html` and/or a `styles.scss` inside.
Alternatively, you can specify a different location with the `custom_template_path` option.

### Custom cover page

Using [jinja2](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/templates/) syntax, you can access all data from your `mkdocs.yml`.
To make template creation easier, you can use `plugin_some_plugin` to access variables from plugins.
E.g. use `{{ author }}` to get the author from your `mkdocs.yml` that looks like:

```yaml
plugins:
    - with-pdf:
        author: WHO
```

You can use custom variables [`extra:` in your `mkdocs.yml`](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#extra)
And, you can check it in the log if run with `verbose` or `debug_html` options.

### Custom stylesheet

Since your stylesheet is appended to the default ones, you can override every setting from them.

Tip: setting the `debug_html` option to `true` to get the generated html that is passed to `weasyprint` can help you determine the html tags, classes or identifiers you want to modify in your stylesheet.

### Advanced Rendering Hooks (Experimental)

You can hook the PDF rendering process by creating a `pdf_event_hook.py`(or `pdf_event_hook/__init__.py`) in your working directory _(usually the same directory as` mkdocs.yml`)_.  
_**since**: `v0.8.2`_

#### Sample `pdf_event_hook.py` (or `pdf_event_hook/__init__.py`)

```python
import logging

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from mkdocs.structure.pages import Page


def inject_link(html: str, href: str,
                page: Page, logger: logging) -> str:
