From: Seebs Date: 2009-11-24T09:35:17+09:00 Subject: Printing from Ruby Long story short: I wanted to make pretty-printed stuff. I have, after several hours, gotten something that can produce acceptable output by rendering as HTML, which I then run through Firefox -- with five mostly undocumented about:config changes and an elaborate printing procedure. That sucks. I am looking for the ability to do things that are frankly not much beyond trivial HTML type layout -- a little CSS, but nothing past font sizes and colors and the like. What are good choices for PDF or postscript rendering from Ruby, if any? It might be nice to have visibility into rendering at the level of "if I render this block of text, how tall does it come out?" I don't need any graphics past maybe the ability to draw solid-colored boxes behind text. -s -- Copyright 2009, all wrongs reversed.
