Proton PDF generation #1291

Proton might be the way for us to add PDF generation as a feature to Meza.

This is a timely topic. We concluded that client's seeking PDFs should be responsible for installing a PDF printer and just using the Ctrl-P function of their browser to get a PDF. But we have also been working to automate the production of PDFs of wiki pages on the server side and for that we have been using mwclient to get the html from the wiki api and then sending that html to an html2pdf utility that we have loaded separately from meza. This allows us to generate PDFs of pre-identified wiki (dashboard) pages at pre-defined intervals (~ 1 per week, etc..).. Proton might still be an improvement to our current approach, but if meza had this capability as a core feature we would likely use it.
