Examples

Create a PDF file:

import trml2pdf
print trml2pdf.parseString(open('file.rml','rt').read())

If you are using this for Django you can dynamically create an .rml file with the template system and then render it.

from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template.context import Context
import trml2pdf

data = {'key1': 'foo'}
template = get_template('template.rml')
context = Context(data)
xmlstring = template.render(context)
pdfstr = trml2pdf.parseString(xmlstring)
