This may or may not help understand why I use markdown. Attached is a PDF, and its corresponding markdown file used to generate it (as a pdf print to upload it here). And how it is on the internet (admittedly with the links bit taken out)

@saltlane may I ask which css stylesheet coding you use to print / convert to pdf your markdown files. As far as I have understood defining page margins is limited due to technical reasons. For me on page 1 it’s okay, but on the following pages it’s too small. In your example it looks quite okay. I am wondering how you achieved this (by printing to pdf directly in chrome) as @chrillek suggested in another thread.

I am quite new to markdown and am fascinated by its simplicity and usefulness. Currently, creating a good print layout without some additional steps (via chrome) is the only thing that is missing for me, therefore I am interested in your workflow
to achieve your pdf layout.

Update:
This older posting of @BLUEFROG describes a perfect solution to handle page margins in markdown printouts:

Markdown margins

I believe it’s the File > Print dialog you have there rather than File > Page Setup, which on my end looks like this: [53] Sadly there are no margin option to be found, on either dialog box, at least with my printer. I didn’t know this was driver related. Even without the concept of pages, it seems logical to expect DT to have some control over markdown rendering when printed (since it already controls the font used).

Thank you, Jim. Indeed, I wasn’t aware that with a customized page setting it is possible to define margins, whereas it is not possible to define them with the CSS stylesheet consistently for all pages. Now, I have a customized page setting for printing/converting markdown documents, and a standard page setting for printing other documents (PDF etc.).
