Advanced Markdown to PDF Tips
Expert techniques for creating professional PDF documents from Markdown
Use Proper Heading Hierarchy
Start with # for the title, then ## for main sections, ### for subsections. This creates a well-structured table of contents and improves PDF navigation.
Specify Code Languages
Always specify the language in fenced code blocks (```javascript) for accurate syntax highlighting. Auto-detection works but explicit language tags are more reliable.
Choose the Right Code Theme
Use GitHub theme for light documents, VS Dark or Dracula for dark-themed PDFs. Match the theme to your document's overall style.
Use Sans-Serif for Technical Docs
Sans-serif fonts (like the default) are easier to read on screens. Use serif fonts only for printed documents or formal papers.
Enable Line Numbers for Long Code
Turn on line numbers for code blocks with more than 10 lines. This makes it easier to reference specific lines in discussions.
Test Table of Contents with Long Documents
For documents with many headings, enable TOC to create a navigable structure. The TOC is automatically generated from all heading levels.
