Is there a library available to parse html and create a pdf file? I've been able to do simple things like mail merge mailing labels and standard letters into a pdf file. I can even make simple text flow in columns. This has been very useful for a membership database application I'm developing: making printable reports, letters and labels. But I don't know how to go about implementing more complex formating like bold, non-breaking space, italics, bullets, indents, font tags, etc. Right now I just explode the text based on a space. I really don't know how I would parse html. I would really appreciate some pointers. If there isn't a library out there, would anyone like to collaborate on one?
