Usage: codes2pdf <source_dir> [options]

Auto generate a PDF notebook from your source codes

Options:

    -V, --version             output the version number
    -a --author [name]        author's name to be added in the notebook
    -i --initials [initials]  initials of the author to be placed in the upper-right corner of all pages
    -o --output [filename]    output file for the notebook. Default to `./notebook.pdf`

The second one will create a 'notebook.pdf' file in the current directory, from the source code files which are located in the current directory and its subdirectories.

The notebook generator will add your source code with syntax highlighting, additionally you can add .tex files which will be rendered as Latex code.

Sample PDF

Here you can find a sample: https://github.com/Erfaniaa/codes2pdf/blob/master/sample_notebook.pdf

(In this forked version, the generated notebook file will have three columns in each page; so you can put more source codes in a few number of pages.)

Notes

Try to use up to 3 "levels" in your source code.
Use spaces insead of underscore (in the filenames) to print a prettier TOC.
In this forked version of the original repository, the generated notebook will have three columns in each page.
