Editing Research/Web-to-print (section)

==wkhtmltopdf==
Wkhtmltopdf is an open source project very similar to weasyprint, with an identical workflow. Because it is so similar, we will mostly discuss the differences between the two. 

===positive aspects===

* wkhtmltopdf is based on the webkit rendering engine, which eases bug tracking and improves support
* wkhtmltopdf is very easy to install.
* wkhtmltopdf can run javascript.

===negative aspects===

* Webkit, and thus wkhtmltopdf, has not yet implemented as many advanced css printing features as weasyprint has.
===sample output===
<source lang="bash">"C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe" --print-media-type container.html wkhtmltopdf_book.pdf  </source>
[[File:wkhtmltopdf_book.pdf]]

===Usage for teaching===
Because it is free and open source, this tool appears very suitable for use in the hybrid publishing workflow that is currently being thought in several courses. Because it adheres to most HTML and CSS rules and can be used simply from the command line, students are not forced to learn yet another language.
