Making PDFs from Gemtext


I've made a tool for generating LaTeX from text in Gemini format. LaTeX can yield pretty good PDF output, so there is now a Gemtext to PDF pipeline. It's important for the adoption of Gemini that there be good tooling for converting documents in and out, and this new tool adds an important pair of edges in the graph of format convertibility.


As the gemini text that I've written so far isn't particularly extensive, I'm a bit short of examples, so I have to choose a slightly substandard example. I cut-and-pasted a bunch of lost webpages about "YURLs" into a single Gemini document. This document exercises all the various features of Gemini text, as a mashup of various HTML originals, it's not really the best example, but it's the most *complete* example, so I've linked the PDF output below.


Onward!
