Markdown support

What Markdown syntax is supported?

The editor renders common Markdown structures used in documentation, reports, notes, and technical content.

Headings and paragraphs

Use Markdown headings from H1 through H6 and normal paragraphs to create a clear document hierarchy.

Bold and italic text

Use standard Markdown emphasis to highlight important words, labels, and notes.

Ordered and unordered lists

Turn bullet points and numbered steps into readable PDF lists.

Tables

Convert Markdown tables into structured table output for comparisons, specifications, pricing, and reference data.

Blockquotes

Keep quoted text, callouts, and cited notes visually separate from normal paragraphs.

Inline and fenced code

Preserve inline code and fenced code blocks for commands, configuration, source examples, and technical documentation.

Links

Keep Markdown links in the rendered document so references and source URLs remain usable.

Horizontal rules

Use Markdown separators to break long documents into clear visual sections.

Example

Markdown to PDF example

Use cases

What can you use Markdown to PDF for?

Markdown is often used for structured text. PDF makes that content easier to distribute, archive, print, or share with people who do not use Markdown.

Technical documentation

Export developer notes, API guides, setup instructions, runbooks, and engineering documentation written in Markdown.

Reports and proposals

Turn structured Markdown drafts into client-ready reports, project updates, proposals, and internal documents.

README and repository docs

Create portable PDF copies of README content and other Markdown documentation for handoffs, reviews, or offline access.

AI-generated Markdown

Format structured Markdown from AI assistants into a cleaner document for sharing, archiving, or presentation.

Notes and knowledge-base content

Convert Markdown notes, study material, meeting notes, and knowledge-base articles into easy-to-share PDFs.

Printable reference documents

Use page size, margins, headers, footers, and page numbers to prepare Markdown content for printing or formal distribution.

PDF formatting

Customize the PDF before you export

Use the document settings to prepare a simple Markdown file for a more formal, printable, or branded PDF.

A4 and Letter page sizes

Choose A4 for common international documents or Letter for standard US page sizing.

Compact, normal, or spacious margins

Adjust page density depending on whether you want to fit more content or create a more open reading layout.

Cover page and table of contents

Add document structure for longer reports, guides, proposals, and documentation.

Page numbers and document date

Add practical navigation and document context for multi-page exports.

Branding and typography

Add a logo, company details, primary and secondary colors, and choose from modern, editorial, or technical typography styles.

Running header and footer

Add brand information or custom header text and optional footer text such as a confidentiality notice.

Dedicated converter

Why convert Markdown to PDF instead of using browser print?

Browser printing can work for a quick copy, but a dedicated Markdown-to-PDF workflow gives you more control over how the final document is organized and presented.

Capability SubhDev Markdown to PDF Typical browser print flow
Live Markdown rendering Preview the Markdown document as you edit it. Depends on another page or Markdown viewer to render the source first.
Document layout Choose page size and margin presets before export. Uses the print settings exposed by the current browser/page.
Long-document structure Optional cover page, table of contents, page numbers, and document date. Usually requires the source page to provide those features.
Brand presentation Add logo, company details, colors, typography, headers, and footer text. Limited to whatever branding already exists on the source page.
