About:
HTMLDOC is a command-line tool that converts HTML documents into structured output formats like PDF and PostScript. It parses HTML files and applies styling to generate printable documents, making it ideal for offline documentation. The tool supports standard HTML elements and provides control over layout, fonts, and margins for professional output.
Key Features:
  • Converts HTML to PDF and PostScript formats
  • Supports standard HTML 3.2 and some HTML 4.0 elements
  • Command-line interface for batch processing and automation
  • Customizable page layout, fonts, and margins
  • Table of contents generation from heading tags
Use Cases:

  • pandoc – More versatile document converter with broader format support but different HTML-to-PDF approach
  • weasyprint – Python-based with modern CSS support but requires Python ecosystem
