§ 3Flowchart

§ 4Steps

$ wcl wdoc pdf site.wcl --out out

Render each site to out/<name>.pdf — a pure-Rust PDF, no browser or external tools. Prose, headings and more paginate onto A4 by default; pass --page-size letter for US Letter.

$ wcl wdoc markdown site.wcl --out out/md

Render every page to one .md file per page under out/md. Diagrams, terminals and wireframes are written as standalone .svg files the Markdown references; equations stay as LaTeX and videos are skipped — aimed at AI / text consumers.

$ wcl wdoc markdown site.wcl --out out/md --site book

When a document declares several sites, pass --site <name> to render just one; otherwise each site renders into its own subdirectory.
