While html is fine and could be printed manually to pdf format , a different story is doing recursively . There are some python package that can help with that but there are some major drawbacks:
-
pdfkit / weasyprint : Simple and effective way to export html files to pdf but does not support latex expression or MathML which are key components in the html file made by efficalc
-
playwright/ pyppeteer: It runs a headless browser from which one can write necessary steps to print the html file to pdf. At first glance it looks a complete solution but a little overkill download an entire browser just to export an html file to pdf. Also I have issues at running with a Jupyter notebook which is my main tool to write code because of nested async loops. In resume, a little more complex and present issues that I shouldn't focus to work on.
So, I suggest to implement a class to export the html files into pdf. Or maybe just a clarification in regards of pdf printing programmatically. Thanks in regards
