How Markdown rendering preserves your document structure
Markdown is plain text formatted with simple syntax: # for headings, - for lists, **bold**, *italic*. When converted to PDF, this syntax is interpreted into styled HTML, then rendered as a print-ready document. This calculator preserves heading hierarchy (H1 becomes the largest title, H2 a subtopic title, etc.) and auto-generates a table of contents from your headings if enabled. Code blocks are syntax-highlighted by language, tables are formatted with borders and alternating row colors, and GitHub-flavored extensions like checkboxes and strikethrough are fully supported. The result is a professional PDF suitable for documentation, reports, or student submissions.
Customization options and output quality
The tool offers theme selection (light/dark, minimal/colorful), custom fonts (serif, sans-serif, monospace), accent color for links and headings, and toggles for page numbers, line numbers, and section breaks. Section breaks force H1 or H2 headings to start on a new page, which is useful for formal documents with chapters. The output respects your original line breaks and code formatting, with monospace font in code blocks. All processing is client-side - your markdown is never uploaded or stored.
FAQ
Can I add images or links to my Markdown PDF?
Yes. Markdown supports both inline images  and links [text](url). This tool preserves them - links are clickable in the PDF, and images are embedded from your URLs. External images are fetched at conversion time.
What Markdown syntax is supported?
Standard Markdown (headings, lists, bold, italic, code, blockquotes) plus GitHub flavored extensions (tables, strikethrough, task lists, fenced code blocks with language tags). LaTeX equations and HTML are not supported - this tool focuses on readable Markdown syntax.
How do I add page breaks or control PDF page layout?
Use the "Section breaks" toggle to force H1 or H2 headings to start on new pages. Otherwise, content flows continuously. For fine-grained control, edit your Markdown with strategic H1/H2 headings at page boundaries, or use a Markdown table of contents generator before uploading.
