Markdown to PDF Utility

I needed to get a Markdown document in PDF format. Unable to find a good solution, I set off to make a Markdown to PDF conversion utility. About 20 lines of Python later, here we are!

md2pdf: Markdown to PDF

You can download md2pdf on Github. Installation instructions can be found in the README. Usage is extremely simple:
$ md2pdf my-markdown-document.md

How it was made

This utility is actually pretty silly. It simply serves as a glue between markdown2, which takes Markdown and produces HTML, and xhtml2pdf, which takes HTML and produces PDFs. The script uses a system call because the xhtml2pdf interface is non-trivial. Consequently, you're probably better off not using this on a production server. May 03, 2012
