- This code is modified from code2pdf. I am holding this repository because the code2pdf had the following problems at the moment when I was trying to use.
- The generated PDF files did not have syntax highlighting (all black-white).
- The command only supported to process a single file. Sometime, I want to process multiple code files.
- The code2pdf used python2 and pyqt4. They were not easy to setup on my machine (especially pyqt4).
- This code is implemented based on libraries like pdfkit, magic, pygments, etc. I appreciate the contributations of all of these authors.
