Introduction

Doker is a Node.js/io.js library that allows to write large multipage PDF-documents using CoffeeScript and Markdown. The word doker is a portmanteau of document and maker. The main objective is to provide high level functionality allowing to generate rich and interactive documents. Our approach combines power and flexibility of programming techniques with extremely simple and readable syntax.

Doker is based on amazing library called PDFkit. We extend possibilities of PDFKit by adding some higher-level functions needed to compose such kind of documents as electronic books, user's manuals, product datasheets etc. Another great library called Marked help us to involve Markdown syntax into process of content creation.

• Markdown to PDF smart conversion
• Richtext supporting (even calling CoffeeScript function from Markdown text)
