Convert MD to PDF

A README, a spec or a set of notes written in Markdown has to be sent to someone who wants a document rather than a repository.

    What actually changes

    MD and PDF are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    The Markdown is parsed to HTML and then typeset into pages. Headings become real headings, code blocks keep their monospaced formatting, and tables become tables.

    Worth knowing first

    Markdown has no page model, so page breaks fall wherever the flow reaches the margin, often mid-code-block. There is also no single Markdown standard: footnotes, task lists and tables are extensions, and a renderer that does not implement one prints its raw syntax.

    Questions

    MD to PDF, answered

    Do fenced code blocks keep syntax highlighting?

    Only if the renderer applies it. The Markdown source carries the language name, not the colours.

    What about images with relative paths?

    They need to resolve at render time. Images referenced as ./img/foo.png in a repository will be missing unless they travel with the file.
