Third-party software ==================== For exporting graphical files, the package requires [phantomJS](http://phantomjs.org/download.html), which is an open-source freeware available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The path to the executable _phantomjs_ file is required in order to export the graphical files. Example(s) ================= rendering a web file to a PDF image . webimage filename.html, export(./image.pdf) /// phantomjs("/usr/local/bin/phantomjs") rendering an online webpage to PNG . webimage "http://www.google.com", export(./image.png) /// phantomjs("/usr/local/bin/phantomjs") Author ====== __E.
