What Markdown syntax is supported?

The converter supports the full GitHub-Flavored Markdown specification including headings (h1-h6), bold, italic, strikethrough, ordered and unordered lists, task lists (checkboxes), tables, fenced code blocks with language-specific syntax highlighting, blockquotes, horizontal rules, links, and inline images. If your Markdown renders correctly on GitHub, it will convert properly here.

Are code blocks syntax-highlighted in the PDF?

Yes. Fenced code blocks with a language identifier (like ```python or ```javascript) receive proper syntax highlighting in the output PDF. The highlighting uses a professional color scheme that is readable both on screen and in print.

Can I customize the PDF page layout?

Yes. You can set the page size (A4, Letter, Legal), margins, base font size, and line height. These settings let you produce PDFs that match your organization's document standards or optimize for either screen reading or printing.

Is this suitable for converting technical documentation?

Absolutely. The converter handles the complex formatting common in technical docs: nested code blocks, multi-column tables, inline code, deep heading hierarchies, and mixed content. It is commonly used for API documentation, project wikis, architecture decision records, and software design documents.
