About the Text / Markdown to PDF

Text and Markdown to PDF turns authored content into a styled A4 document. Markdown mode supports the project's safe Markdown rendering, while plain-text mode preserves typed line breaks and spacing.

The workspace includes an editable title used for the filename, a local .txt or .md file opener, and a live A4-style preview. The complete preview is captured and sliced across portrait A4 pages.

Output is rasterized JPEG page content, so text is not selectable and long unbreakable blocks can cross page boundaries. Large documents are constrained by browser canvas dimensions and device memory.

Frequently asked questions

Can it open a local Markdown file?
Yes. The editor can load local .md and .txt content.
Is Markdown HTML sanitized?
The preview uses the project's safe Markdown rendering rather than executing arbitrary scripts.
Is output text selectable?
No. The preview is captured as JPEG page imagery.
Can I choose Letter paper?
No. The current output is portrait A4.
Why might a long code block split poorly?
The captured preview is sliced at fixed A4 page heights rather than reflowed by a full print-layout engine.
