We've spent twenty years working on HTML to PDF conversion and I expect we could easily spend another twenty years, so feel free to give Prince a try if you would rather avoid the headache :)
- twotwotwo 11mo agoAwesome. From curiosity: is Prince's core still written in Mercury? (Looked at old comments.)
- mikeday 11mo agoAbsolutely! The CSS support, layout engine, PDF output, and JavaScript interpreter are all written in Mercury, while the font support that was originally a mix of Mercury and C has now been rewritten as a standalone Rust project, Allsorts.
- PaulKeeble 11mo agoNormally when we are nearly there we say its 95% done and only 95% of the work remains. If your feeling is you are half done I suspect more than 50% of the work remains! What I know having done a lot in this space is we aren't close!
- mikeday 11mo agoyeah, we often refer to the first 90% of the work and the second 90% of the work lol.
