Examples

1. Technical Documentation Export

Software Developer
Background
A developer needs to share a project's API documentation with a non-technical stakeholder who prefers PDF files.
Problem
The raw Markdown file lacks the professional formatting and code readability required for a formal document.
How to Use
Upload the documentation file, select the 'GitHub' code theme, and set the page size to A4.
Example Config
codeTheme: 'github', pageSize: 'A4', enableSyntaxHighlighting: true
Outcome
A clean, professional PDF document with properly highlighted code blocks and consistent page formatting.

2. Academic Paper Formatting

Researcher
Background
A researcher has written a paper in Markdown and needs to submit it as a PDF with specific layout requirements.
Problem
Standard Markdown viewers do not allow for custom line heights or specific page orientations needed for the submission.
How to Use
Upload the paper, adjust the line height to 1.6 for readability, and set the orientation to portrait.
Example Config
lineHeight: 1.6, orientation: 'portrait', fontSize: 12
Outcome
A perfectly formatted PDF document ready for academic submission with optimal readability settings.
