Inline CSS and may be a bug with hyperlinking while using pdf.write_html()

[Aymaan007-ds]

We’ve really appreciated using fpdf2 for our PDF generation needs and want to thank the volunteers who keep it running. We did notice a couple of limitations that might be worth addressing. One is the lack of inline CSS support, which makes it difficult to apply custom text formatting—like variable line spacing or conditional underlining—within the same paragraph. The other is a minor bug with underlined hyperlinks: once a hyperlink begins, everything following it ends up underlined as well, even after the link is closed. We understand these might not be trivial fixes, but adding inline CSS capability and improving underline toggle logic would be a welcome enhancement for many fpdf2 users.

Again, regarding the bug I am reporting, I might be at fault, so kindly lemme know.

Thanks! Feedback like this is always nice. 🙂

Yes, I understand.
Quoting https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/HTML.html:

The whole HTML 5 specification is not supported, and neither is CSS, but bug reports & contributions are very welcome to improve this.
For a more robust & feature-full HTML-to-PDF converter in Python, you may want to check Reportlab (or xhtml2pdf based on it), WeasyPrint or borb.

Would you be willing to contribute some time & code to improve CSS support in fpdf2? 🙂

The other is a minor bug with underlined hyperlinks: once a hyperlink begins, everything following it ends up underlined as well, even after the link is closed.

I think this was already reported & fixed: #1311

It has not been released, but you could install the latest version from this repo master branch to check if that solves your problem:

Thank you for getting in touch and providing this insightful feedback!
