Description as copied from upstream website:

-----
Simple shell utility to convert html to pdf using the webkit rendering engine, and qt.

Introduction
Searching the web, I have found several command line tools that allow you to convert a HTML-document to a PDF-document, however they all seem to use their own, and rather incomplete rendering engine, resulting in poor quality. Recently QT 4.4 was released with a WebKit widget (WebKit is the engine of Apples Safari, which is a fork of the KDE KHtml), and making a good tool became very easy.

Features
* Convert web pages into PDF documents using webkit 
* Adding headers and footers (static version only) 
* TOC generation (static version only) 
* Batch mode conversions 
* (Linux) No longer requires an XServer to be running (however the X11 client libs must be installed)

Reproducible: Always
