codeannex 0.1.2

Generates a professional PDF source code annex with Smart Index, Images and Emoji support.

📂 codeannex

Generates a professional PDF annex from a project's source code — with syntax highlighting, a clickable table of contents, image rendering, non-selectable line numbers, and configurable fonts.

Features

• Syntax highlighting via Pygments (Catppuccin Mocha theme)
• Clickable table of contents with page numbers (two-pass layout)
• Smart word wrap — breaks at word boundaries, respects emoji codepoints
• Non-selectable line numbers rendered as images
• Image support — embeds PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, BMP, ICO, and SVG files
• Git-aware — uses git ls-files when available; falls back to manual .gitignore parsing
• Cross-platform font discovery — finds monospace and emoji fonts on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Emoji support — configurable fonts for emojis, with fallback for better rendering.
  • Tip for Linux: Install fonts-symbola for high-coverage monochromatic emoji support that works reliably with ReportLab.
• Emoji descriptions — option to print [EMOJI NAME] instead of glyphs for systems without emoji fonts.
• Configurable fonts — customize normal, bold, monospace, and emoji fonts.
• Page numbering — customizable font size and position.
• Repository Link — show a clickable repository link on the cover page.
• Fast binary file detection — quickly ignores common binary extensions.

• reportlab, Pillow, Pygments

Optional SVG rendering (install at least one):

• cairosvg (preferred)

Output

The generated PDF contains:

1. Cover page — project name with page number
2. Table of contents — tree-structured, with clickable links to each file
3. File pages — syntax-highlighted source, with file path headers and line numbers

Files are ordered: root files first (alphabetical), then directories recursively (alphabetical).

Binary files (e.g., .pdf, .exe) are automatically ignored with warnings if not in .gitignore.
