Feature Support & Syntax
Technical details about how MarkdownPDFConverter.com processes your documents.
About the Engine
MarkdownPDFConverter.com utilizes a hybrid rendering engine. We parse Markdown using a customized flavor compliant with GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), ensuring compatibility with your existing codebases and documentation.
Unlike basic converters that simply screenshot the page, our Intelligent Styling Engine reconstructs the document structure (DOM) before generating the PDF. We utilize a combination of html2canvas and jsPDF with high-resolution scaling (2x retina) to ensure:
- Selectable text in the final PDF
- Crisp vector fonts at any zoom level
- Clickable hyperlinks
- Proper page break handling
