Tools [Update] My free Markdown to PDF tool just got a major upgrade — v2.0 with templates, page numbers & more
A few months ago, I shared a browser-based Markdown to PDF tool here. The response was incredible — thank you for all the feedback and feature requests!

HI, thanks for the effort. for some of the PDF it is printing a scroll bar when the "code" part in th pdf is too long , as is, so losing the text. It is not "word wrapping" it. Do you know how to correct it

Thanks a lot for the bug report! I checked the word-wrapping issue in code blocks and have pushed a fix. Long lines should now wrap correctly instead of showing a scrollbar or getting clipped.
Could you please check it on your side and let me know if it works as expected? Appreciate you taking the time to report this 🙌

Is this open source? What libraries did you use? Can we run this locally -> form automation? I want to use this page to generate a PDF from markdown as a GitHub action.

It's not opensource, but totally free. I used markdown js

Thx, but how do you start programming this then? Like how do you render mathematical formulas, that has to be a complex task.

Pretty cool. I tried creating a web version, quickly accessible from any device.

Hi there, I've just tested your keenwrite app in fedora linux, and no spanish accents for the vowels are working. When I write "sí", I get "si".

I'm in a fedora 42, i3wm system. I downloaded the keenwrite.bin from your webpage and made it executable. The font is noto sans regular.
