This example demonstrates a server-side workflow for converting an HTML file into a PDF document. It reads an input HTML file from the filesystem, passes its contents to the `electron-html-to` library, and pipes the resulting PDF stream to an output file. The script uses the `convertFactory` with its PDF converter path, triggering the conversion asynchronously and handling errors or writing the output stream. The code relies on Node.js core modules `fs` for file operations and `process.argv` for command-line arguments, making it a reusable utility for generating PDFs from static HTML pages.

convert html to docx using pandoc

This example shows a Windows batch script that converts HTML files to DOCX documents using Pandoc, a universal document converter. The script accepts either a single HTML file or a folder as input, automatically detecting `index.htm` or `index.html` inside directories. It sets the output filename based on the input name, then invokes the `pandoc` command-line tool with the `-o` flag to generate the DOCX file. The script handles file and folder paths separately, checks for the output’s existence, and returns to the original working directory before pausing.

Quick node.js script to convert a CSV file to HTML

A quick Node.js script converts CSV spreadsheet data into standalone HTML pages by applying a template to each row. It uses the `csv` library to parse an input file with named columns and the `ejs` templating engine, configured with curly braces, to interpolate row values into the output. The script validates file extensions (`.csv`, `.ejs`, `.html`) and writes the rendered templates to a single output file, joining them with platform-appropriate line endings. The example includes a template that displays each item’s title, link, source, and year as formatted HTML.

This example demonstrates a web server that forwards a PDF from a URL directly to a reMarkable tablet. It shows how an HTTP request containing a `pdf` query parameter triggers a download and upload cycle, ultimately returning the uploaded document’s ID as JSON. The code uses Express with CORS for the server, Node’s `https` module for fetching the remote PDF, and the `remarkable-typescript` library to authenticate via a device token and upload the file. The visualization’s behavior is purely functional, with no graphical rendering involved.

hapi testing

This example shows a Hapi server that fetches the Google homepage, converts its HTML to a PDF document, and returns it as the HTTP response. The server defines a single GET route on the root path, which chains together the `request-promise` library for the external HTTP request with the `html-pdf` library to generate the PDF buffer. The handler asynchronously resolves the PDF buffer and replies with the correct `application/pdf` content type, demonstrating a server-side data conversion and delivery pipeline.

This example assembles a multi-section Markdown document into a unified report and renders it in several output formats. It shows how a single source file can be converted to HTML, PDF, DOC, ODT, and standalone Markdown using the Pandoc document converter. The build script runs `assemble.sh` to concatenate numbered section files into `masters.txt`, then invokes Pandoc with options for section numbering, a table of contents, and custom CSS styling. The PDF output uses XeLaTeX with Georgia and Helvetica fonts, while the HTML version embeds a custom JavaScript template.

This example demonstrates reading a file from disk using Node.js’s synchronous file system APIs, specifically `fs.openSync`, `fs.readSync`, and `fs.closeSync`. It reads the first 4 KB chunk of `public/index.html` into a `Buffer`, converts that slice to a UTF-8 string, and prints it to the console. The code also includes a commented-out asynchronous equivalent using `fs.open`, `fs.read`, and `fs.close`, showing both approaches side by side.

This example demonstrates a browser-based utility for saving JSON data as a downloadable file. It shows how to serialize a JavaScript object into a formatted JSON string, wrap it in a Blob, and trigger a client-side download. The code uses the Blob constructor with the `application/json` MIME type, feature-detects the HTML5 `download` attribute, and creates a temporary anchor element with `URL.createObjectURL` to initiate the download. It also includes a fallback for Internet Explorer 10+ using `navigator.msSaveBlob`. The filename is fixed as `directory.json`, and the data structure comes from the `finalData` parameter passed to the `downloadFile` function.

This example shows a file-reading utility that loads either image or text files into the browser using the HTML5 File API. It creates a FileReader instance and wraps its asynchronous operations in a jQuery Deferred object, returning a promise that resolves with the file’s content. For images, the reader uses `readAsDataURL` to produce a base64-encoded data URL; for all other file types, it uses `readAsText` to retrieve the raw string. The code handles load and error events, rejecting the promise on failure.
