Usage
=====

the option\_string would be sent to the wkhtmltopdf command line in
exactly the same shape. so the options can be anything as long as the
wkhtmltopdf supports. check its
`usage <http://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt>`__. This lib is
just as simple as that. If anything goes wrong, just check the doc. If
the command execute ok with wkhtmltopdf dircetly, this wrapper should
work too.

As I check
`qoda/python-wkhtmltopdf <https://github.com/qoda/python-wkhtmltopdf>`__,
where this repo forked from, it tried to prase args. But it only include
a small set of the arguments the command supports. Furthermore, it set
default values to this set of arguments and pass them all to the
command. For me, it is totally unnecessary and even mistakeful. There is
default setting setup and doc in the command. Some arugments may not
even work together, as ``--page-size`` and ``--page-height``,
``--page-width``. So my solution is just pass the option in as a string,
Lazy, flexible and effective.
