Typist
Why?
I struggle with moving from html documents to PDF. I love Pagedown but every year I feel like there is more prayer than skill to generate a PDF document. I can’t quite get the tables I want in pagedown.
I am determined to use Typis this year.
Typist seems great but is not a plug and play system–a lot of configuration is required.
This blog post is a very sold starting point.

The show file provides the detail–what will the headings look like whereas the template file layout the structure of the document.
