gfm-pdf

Export GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) documents to PDF using wkhtmltopdf. The package is intended to generate a high-quality and professional GitHub flavored PDF (or HTML page), whose content is copyable and where links are clickable, i.e. where pages are not only images.

Requirements

In order to use gfm-pdf you need to install wkhtmltopdf to your system. For further information look at wkhtmltopdf.org.

Plugin Installation

$ apm install gfm-pdf

You configure gfm-pdf by editing ~/.atom/config.cson

'gfm-pdf':
  'executablePath': '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf'

  'type': 'PDF'

You need to provide the path to your wkhtmltopdf binary under executablePath as above. The available types of output are PDF, PDF+HTML or HTML.
