FR: Make the HTML output buffer string available #78

Closed annie444 closed 5 months ago

annie444 commented 6 months ago

I'm using this in a text editing app using Tauri, and I need access to the raw HTML string.

Can you elaborate on what you're looking for?

Closing this issue because the method new on the HTMLOutput struct takes any implementation of the Write trait, which easily allows one to capture the output as a String (if you so desire).

I was confused by the argument being named file but that's neither here nor there. Just my own stupidity.

For anyone in the future who wants to convert a PDF to an HTML string to send to a front end, this issue should answer that question for you. Specifically, you can use a Vec to ingest the bytes and then use the std::str::from_utf8() function with the Vec.as_slice() method to get a Sized string output.
