       | Weasyprint seems to be one of the few HTML->PDF engines out there
       | that doesn't depend on a browser engine. It's impressive just how
       | much works (HTML, CSS, SVG, etc), given that this is a relatively
       | simple project compared to a full-featured browser. Performance
       | isn't bad, considering it is implemented in Python.
