## What it is
Decktape is a command-line tool that converts HTML presentation frameworks (like reveal.js, impress.js, and others) into high-quality PDF documents. It uses a headless browser to render slides and export them with precise page sizing.

## Use cases
- convert reveal.js slides to pdf
- export html presentation as pdf
- print slides deck to pdf from command line
- archive online presentations as pdf
- generate pdf handouts from web-based slides
- batch convert html slide decks

## When to choose
- you need pixel-accurate PDFs of HTML-based presentations
- you want to automate slide export in CI or scripts
- you use supported frameworks like reveal.js, impress.js, or deck.js

## When to avoid
- your presentation is in PowerPoint or Keynote format
- you need editable output rather than PDF
- your presentation framework is unsupported or heavily animated
