CLI tool reference

2 min read

Reference for the tools the installer puts on your PATH by default. All three convert Markdown into a finished document and share the same option style, so learning one is learning all of them.

cc-pdf

Markdown to PDF.

Usage
cc-pdf input.md -o output.pdf --theme boardroom
cc-pdf input.md -o output.pdf --page-size a4 --margin 1in
  • -o - output file path.
  • --theme - document style (see themes below).
  • --page-size - a4 or letter.
  • --margin - page margin, e.g. 1in.

cc-html

Markdown to a standalone HTML page.

Usage
cc-html input.md -o output.html --theme paper

cc-word

Markdown to Word (.docx).

Usage
cc-word input.md -o output.docx --theme boardroom

Themes

The converters share one theme set:

  • boardroom - corporate, executive style with serif fonts; the pick for professional reports.
  • paper - minimal and clean (the default).
  • terminal - technical, monospace.
  • blueprint - technical documentation.
  • thesis - academic.
  • spark - creative, colorful.
  • obsidian - dark theme.
Note
Only default-installed tools are documented here, on purpose - this page never lists a command your machine might not have. The optional toolbox and how tools are managed are covered in the overview.
