💖 CSV2PDF — ok bestie, let's talk 💖

User Contributed Perl Documentation · CSV2PDF(1p) · yes the manual page is literally named after the program, iconic behavior, we love a self-titled era ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

csv2pdf — a simple but yet powerful LaTeX::Table example application. no cap. it's little but it's doing the most 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

csv2pdf [OPTIONS] --in in.csv [--out out.pdf]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. feed it a CSV, get a PDF out the other side, main character energy fr fr 🦋

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so here's every single flag, no skips, we're being thorough because we love you:

  • --sep_char — the separator character. default is a comma ','. yes, the humble comma, the people's separator 🍓
  • --latex_encode — use LaTeX::Encode. let it handle the encoding, she's got this 💜
  • --landscape — output the PDF in landscape orientation. turn that page sideways, she's wide now 🌈
  • --theme — the table theme. see LaTeX::Table. default is Meyrin. theme it up bestie, dress the table for the occasion 👑
  • --coldef — the column definition, e.g. 'llp{5cm}'. if you don't set it, it gets guessed by LaTeX::Table. let her guess, she's usually right 🙈
  • --title — if set, then it uses the specified string as title. give your table a name, she deserves one 💖
  • --header — instead of the first line, use the specified string as header. like:
--header "Header A, Header B, Header C"

the separator character must be the same as in the file. if unset, then the first line is used as header. so either you tell it the header, or line one gets promoted to header, no in-between ✨

  • --outputlatex — prints the LaTeX code to STDOUT. peek behind the curtain, the LaTeX is right there 👀
  • --man — display manpage. hi, you're here, you found it 🥰
  • --version — print version number of this software. gotta know which era we're in ⭐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

converts a CSV file to PDF. requires LaTeX. that's not optional, that's a whole dependency, you need the LaTeX or nothing happens, periodt 🔥

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

csv2pdf --landscape  --theme Redmond --in examples/imdbtop40.dat

landscape, Redmond theme, IMDB top 40 data — she's serving a wide, themed, movie-ranked table and honestly? obsessed 😭 (note the double space between --landscape and --theme, we're keeping it, that's canon)
