Some of the documentations of Julia packages on the webpages generated with [Documenter.jl](https://github.com/JuliaDocs/Documenter.jl) are so good that I want to convert them into full structured PDF so that I can print and read them just like reading papers or books. For example, [this](https://jump.dev/JuMP.jl/stable/#) is the web documentation of the package `JuMP` and [here](https://jump.dev/JuMP.jl/stable/JuMP.pdf) is its corresponding PDF format, but not all packages provide documentations in PDF version. Is there some method to export all the structure and content of them from the webpages to a PDF?

Thanks!

Ah! Thanks! I guess this may be the easiest way although it is a little more troublesome than I expected.

Thanks, @odow . I’ll try to understand that. I often find it frustrating to have to learn something else in order to learn one thing. 🥴
