# puz

I got sick of badly formatted printable crosswords. So in a rage I set to writing my own parser for .puz files files. I then used puppeteer to make a nice printable pdf version. The print command is janky as all, but it lets me print my morning crossword from the terminal.

yarn install puz-cli

Skip opening the pdf and go straight to print! (Brings up a dialogue for choosing the printer) Note: currently using a pretty limited package for printing that probably only works on unix computers and requires a pdf to be created before printing.
