We are thrilled to announce the initial release of doc-engine-cli! 🎉

This tool aims to provide a frictionless way to generate premium, academic-grade PDF reports directly from your Markdown files, completely bypassing the need for complex LaTeX setups or lengthy configurations.

✨ Core Features

  • Zero-Config Magic: Automatically detects your README.md, extracts headings, and picks up your git config user.name for the author data.
  • Typst-Powered Backend: We use a pure Python setup calling the lightning-fast Typst compiler to render our premium templates.
  • Developer-First Typography: Included Inter (sans-serif) and Cascadia Code text out of the box, with built-in syntax-highlighted fences.
  • Academic Layout: Ready-to-go cover page, dynamic table of contents (TOC), and IEEE-inspired headers.

🚀 Installation (Recommended)

Since this is a CLI tool, we highly recommend installing it globally via pipx to keep your environment completely clean:

pipx install doc-engine-cli

🎯 Quick Start

Navigate to any directory with a markdown file and simply run:

doc-engine build --open
