pdf-export

Convert Markdown to HTML with the markdown package using extensions like tables and footnotes, then render the HTML to PDF with Playwright's Chromium browser via page.pdf(). This approach preserves CSS styling such as fonts, margins, and table formatting.

Pass the folder path as the --src argument and an output directory as --out. The script collects all top-level .md files in the folder without recursion and converts each one into a same-named PDF in the output directory.

Yes, Chromium renders Korean text using system fonts such as Malgun Gothic when specified in CSS. The font must be installed on the host system, and print_background should be enabled so styled elements appear in the PDF.

The most common cause is a missing Chromium browser binary. Run playwright install chromium before executing the script, and verify the markdown package is installed, since both are required dependencies.

Mermaid diagrams and KaTeX math rendering are not supported, and folder scanning is non-recursive so only top-level .md files are collected. CJK characters like hanja depend on installed system fonts for correct rendering.
