PDF export of Markdown documents (sharing)

In general, you can use your favorite markdown editor to export a .pdf file.
Nevertheless, export on Mac OS X suffers from low quality png conversions of embedded (linked) PDF images upon export of a markdown document. The importance of vector graphics is to be discussed elsewhere, but png is often not an option in science.
I believe it is problem with OS X's pdf printer (tried in MOU, same results). A current workaround is using pandoc conversion pandoc X.md -o X.pdf
.
- Pandoc uses a different CSS by default, that yields a classic LateX document feel over the github flavoured markdown look.
- Code-block style disappears (incl syntax highlight).
- Table of contents generated by Typora is lost. You can add
--toc
to pandoc, but it puts it before anything else, yielding a document that does not start with its title.
