<p style="color: grey"> Text recipe 580701 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/pdfwriter/">pdfwriter</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pipe/">pipe</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pipeline/">pipeline</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe is a command pipeline. The first component of the pipeline is a D language program that makes use of simple functional programming and template / generic programming features of D, to transform some input into the desired output. Both input and output are text. The D program writes the output to standard output, which is then read by a Python program that reads that as input via standard input, and converts it to PDF.</p>
