Quick Start

Convert a single markdown file:

uv run --with weasyprint --with markdown scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md output.pdf

Batch convert multiple files:

uv run --with weasyprint --with markdown scripts/batch_convert.py *.md --output-dir ./pdfs

If encountering library errors, set these environment variables first:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/homebrew/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

Font Configuration

The scripts use these Chinese fonts (with fallbacks):
