A Node.js module and CLI that converts Markdown files to PDFs by rendering them through HTML and PhantomJS. It supports custom CSS styling, paper formats, headers/footers, and pre-processing functions for templating.

Use cases

• convert markdown files to pdf
• generate pdf documents from md files
• create pdf reports from markdown
• style markdown pdf output with custom css
• batch convert markdown documentation to pdf
• programmatically convert markdown to pdf in node

When to choose

• you need simple markdown-to-pdf conversion in Node.js
• you want customizable PDF styling via CSS
• you need both a CLI and a programmatic API

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software with modern rendering (PhantomJS is deprecated)
• you need high-fidelity HTML/CSS rendering beyond PhantomJS capabilities
• you are not using Node.js
