The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

Update: There are much better ways of accomplishing the same, and the script has been updated to use a much simpler method pulling directly from browserify-cdn. See this thread for details: mathisonian/requirify#5

Paged media CSS doesn't support more complex page header/footer requirements, like tables. A solution to this is to create a separate page with such a header, and merge this into the PDF on the required pages. A proof of concept was written by pikhovkin in this Gist.

Overlay: Represents one HTML page to be overlaid on a PDF document.

• template_name_or_list: the name of the HTML template, which is resolved with jinja2's get_or_select_template method.
• fn_include_on_page: a function that takes a 0-based page number, and returns a boolean that indicates if it needs to be included on that page.
• kwargs: context used to render the overlay. Can also be used to dynamically position content.
