Auto generate a PDF notebook from your source codes

Options:

    -V, --version             output the version number
    -a --author [name]        author's name to be added in the notebook
    -i --initials [initials]  initials of the author to be placed in the upper-right corner of all pages
    -o --output [filename]    output file for the notebook. Default to `./notebook.pdf`

example:

codes2pdf ./ /tmp/team_reference.pdf
codes2pdf ./ --author "Shahid Beheshti University" --initials SBU

The second one will create a 'notebook.pdf' file in the current directory.

Example PDF

Here you can find an example: https://github.com/pin3da/Programming-contest/blob/master/codes/notebook.pdf (The example file has two columns in each page but in the forked version, the generated notebook file will have three columns in each page; so you can put more source codes in a few number of pages.)

Files

The notebook generator will add your source code with syntax highlight, additionally you can add .tex files which will be rendered as latex code.

Notes:

• Try to use up to 3 "levels" in your source code.
• Use spaces insead of underscore (in the filenames) to print a prettier TOC.
• In the forked version of the repository, the generated notebook will have three columns in each page.
