使用Prawn从html生成pdf

I want to generate pdf from html. A gem prawn seems to be the most popular one for that. I downloaded the manual for it, but there is no information about how to generate pdf from html.

我想从html生成pdf。宝石虾似乎是最受欢迎的。我为它下载了手册,但没有关于如何从html生成pdf的信息。

In particular, I need it to work on Heroku also, but that's the second goal.

So how can I generate pdf from html using Prawn?
