Hey guys,

Is it feasible to publish=A0something=A0(say a= n ebook) to html and then convert it to pdf?=A0

I = know *TeX is the most powerful framework for creating PDFs, but given that = I'm more familiar with CSS, I'm sure I could come up with a better= =A0style for the document=A0in much less time than if, say, using LaTeX, as= of now.

My thought is, publish to HTML via org using a custom C= SS, and then convert this HTML+CSS to PDF somehow - I'm still not sure = how exactly - printing to PDF from the browser might be an option, however,= I'm afraid that the final PDF quality will not be enough for the given= publication.

Has anyone tried this workflow?

Cheers,

- Marcelo.
