d11ty is a CLI tool that doubles as a plugin to the eleventy static site generator. It exists for a sole purpose - to create beautiful PDFs from minimal markdown/up.

d11ty has two modes: CLI mode and (eleventy) plugin mode. If you just want a fast, simple command line tool to convert your markdown into elegant, shareable PDFs, look no further than the former. If you're an avid eleventy user for static site generation, like myself, and need a plugin to convert (all or a subset) of your sites to PDF, the latter is for you. I'm hopeful you'll find benefit in both modes.

CLI Mode

Usage

No need to install. Just run from your command line as such:

npx d11ty [ -c, --collate ] [ -o <outputDirectory>] <pathOrFileSpec>

Plugin Mode

Configuration

A configuration file named .d11ty.js can be included in the root of your project directory. It must export a single function that resolves to an object that may contain any of the following keys:

Key | Description | default value -- | -- | -- output | path to output directory | . collate | when true all .md will be collated into a single PDF | false
