rpubs-remark-to-pdf

A command-line script for converting remark.js HTML slides hosted on RPubs to a PDF file.

Usage

With npx:

npx rpubs-remark-to-pdf https://rpubs.com/<your_slides>

By default, the output PDF is placed in the current directory and is named after the last segment of the provided RPubs URL path ("<your_slides>.pdf" in the example above). This can be customized by including a second command line argument with the desired file path:

npx rpubs-remark-to-pdf https://rpubs.com/<your_slides> some/path/name.pdf

Advanced

If the remark.js slide variable uses a name other than slideshow, you will have to provide this by setting the env variable REMARKJS_NAME accordingly. For example, if the slide variable was named mySlides, we would do the following:

REMARKJS_NAME=mySlides npx rpubs-remark-to-pdf https://rpubs.com/<your_slides>

By default, the slide size is inferred automatically. You can override this by setting the REMARKJS_SIZE env variable to a different width:height value (e.g. 1024:768):

REMARKJS_SIZE=1024:768 npx rpubs-remark-to-pdf https://rpubs.com/<your_slides>
