Latexify generates LaTeX code from Julia code. You will want to combine [Latexify.jl](https://github.com/korsbo/Latexify.jl) with [Weave.jl](https://github.com/JunoLab/Weave.jl) to generate a PDF from the outputs.

I wrote a short guide for my use case of displaying functions and tables defined in a package in [this post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/generate-pdf-document-showing-the-equations-in-a-package/91064/2), but Weave can also include plots and numerical answers in the PDF output.

Edit: Actually, the difficulty regarding the workarounds in that post are all related to trying to Latexify and Weave code that already exists as a package. If you are just writing a standalone script to generate the PDF output, you can just follow the [examples](https://weavejl.mpastell.com/dev/getting_started/) included in the Weave package.
