+wkhtmltox
+
+wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are open source (LGPLv3) command line
+tools to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the Qt
+WebKit rendering engine. These run entirely "headless" and do not
+require a display or display service.
+
+There is also a C library, if you're into that kind of thing.
+
+NOTE for SlackBuilds.org:
+
+This is a repackage of the official prebuilt binaries and provides the
+same commands as wkhtmltopdf at SlackBuilds.org (which builds from
+source). Only one of them should be installed.
+
+The official prebuilt binaries are made with a specially patched,
+statically linked Qt, so the provided utilities have extra
+functionality, such as better margin control and multiple file
+convertion. This is primarily needed for Publican to work correctly.
