= Wolfe

Wolfe is a publishing toolchain. It converts Markdown text, HTML, XHTML, or XML to a formatted PDF, using (almost all 
of) CSS2.1 with extensions to support paged media.

It is heavily inspired by YesLogic's Prince[http://www.princexml.com], which is an amazing piece of software, but not 
open-source or free.

Wolfe uses JRuby[http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/Main_Page] so that it can utilize two invaluable Java libraries:

- iText[http://www.lowagie.com/iText/]
- FlyingSaucer[https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/]

Both of these are packaged as gems, available on the project page[http://rubyforge.org/projects/wolfe/].

== Usage

  wolfe [options] file

Valid options are:

  -c CONVERTER
    specify a converter (markdown, html) to use

The output file will have the same name as the input file, but with .pdf as its extension.

== How to include CSS

CSS must be included in or linked from your source file. For Markdown, this may seem difficult. Because Wolfe uses 
Maruku, and has its own extensions, you can add print CSS to the top of a Markdown file like so:

  Print CSS: my_file.css
