Ibis is a PHP command-line tool for writing eBooks in Markdown and converting them into styled PDF files. It generates a cover page, clickable table of contents, and code syntax highlighting, with light and dark themes.

Use cases

  • write an ebook in markdown and export to pdf
  • self-publish a technical book with code highlighting
  • generate a pdf with a cover and table of contents from markdown files
  • convert markdown documentation into a printable book
  • create a programming ebook with light and dark themes

When to choose

  • you want to author an eBook in plain Markdown with minimal tooling
  • your book contains lots of code needing syntax highlighting
  • you prefer a simple PHP-based CLI over heavier publishing tools

When to avoid

  • you need EPUB or other formats beyond PDF
  • you require WYSIWYG editing or complex book layouts
  • your environment lacks PHP 7.3+ with the gd extension
