Product metadata format transformation

HengJiang0206 commented 1 month ago

Explore packages and approaches to transform metadata formats from YAML to PDF, potentially with custom formatting options (fonts and mages). This could involve a mix of packages (readme/text builder or other combinations), from intermediate Python objects to PDF.

Criteria for package selection

Functionality (do what we need)
Decent user base and well-regarded
Good documentation

Once there is a shortlist of options, compare them based on ease of use, reference code snippets, and examples of their API.

New Plan for metadata transformation: YAML -> HTML -> PDF

(upon discussion with @alexrichey)

load in the YAML metadata file using utils from dcpy.models.product.dataset.metadata
use jinja2 templating and loaded metadata class attributes to render the HTML file
transform HTML into PDF
