## Installation
```bash
# Global installation
npm install -g html-export-pdf-cli
# Local installation
npm install --save-dev html-export-pdf-cli
```
The installed `html-export-pdf-cli` command is available.
## Usage
### Generating a PDF
```bash
html-export-pdf-cli ./index.html -o result.pdf
```
### Generating two PDFs
```bash
html-export-pdf-cli ./index.html ./home.html
# or
html-export-pdf-cli -t ./index.html -t ./home.html
html-export-pdf-cli --inputs ./index.html --inputs ./home.html
```
### Generating some PDFs
This Library uses glob to parse the path you enter, and its syntax refers to the [glob documentation](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob#basic-syntax).
```bash
html-export-pdf-cli ./pdf/*.html
```
### Outline
```bash
html-export-pdf-cli ./index.html --outlineTags h1,h2 -o index.pdf
```
Using outlineContainerSelector specify an outline container selector
```bash
html-export-pdf-cli ./index.html --outlineContainerSelector .VPDoc --outlineTags h1,h2 -o index.pdf
```
### Additional Scripts
```bash
html-export-pdf-cli ./index.html --additionalScripts a.js --additionalScripts b.js -o index.pdf
```
### Additional Styles
```bash
html-export-pdf-cli ./index.html --additionalStyles a.css --additionalStyles b.css -o index.pdf
```
### PDF Options
You can customize all configuration parameters for Puppeteer to generate PDF except `path`.
