Fun Facts

  • Pandoc, the universal document converter created by John MacFarlane in 2006, was one of the first tools to support Markdown-to-PDF conversion.
  • GitHub renders Markdown in over 100 million repositories, making it the most widely used lightweight markup language in the world.

FAQ

Which Markdown flavor?
GitHub-Flavored Markdown with extensions: tables, task lists, code fences with syntax highlighting, footnotes, autolinks.
Is syntax highlighting in code blocks preserved?
Yes — common languages (JS, TS, Python, Go, SQL, YAML) highlight automatically. Specify the language after ``` for best results.
Can I add page breaks?
Include `<div style='page-break-after: always'></div>` in the Markdown. Or toggle 'heading starts new page' for automatic chapter breaks.
