ReLaXed is a powerful tool for creating PDF documents interactively using HTML or Pug, making your document creation process feel more like crafting a beautiful piece of art with words rather than battling it out in a traditional word processor. With its user-friendly syntax and the power of CSS and JavaScript, you can lay out your documents just the way you want them.

Getting Started with ReLaXed

Before diving into creating documents, let’s get ReLaXed set up. You can install ReLaXed via NPM using the command below:

npm i -g relaxedjs

This command will give you access to the relaxed command in your terminal. If you face issues during installation, it’s wise to check the troubleshooting page for guidance.

Creating Your First Document

Create a new document called my_document.pug with the following simple Pug content:

h1 My documents title
p A paragraph in my document

Now, you can start ReLaXed from your terminal:

relaxed my_document.pug

This command will generate a PDF titled my_document.pdf from your Pug document, and it will watch for changes in the directory, automatically regenerating the PDF as you edit!

Understanding the Code Through Analogy

Think of creating PDFs with ReLaXed like building a fantastic Lego structure. The Pug file serves as your instruction manual, outlining the overall design. Each block of code – just as each Lego piece – contributes to the final structure. You can customize the layout (just like choosing different Lego types and colors) with CSS and JavaScript while ensuring everything fits perfectly together.

If you ever decide just to build once without future changes, use:

relaxed my_document.pug --build-once
