## What it is
A Visual Studio Code extension that converts Markdown files to PDF, HTML, PNG, or JPEG. It supports PlantUML and Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, syntax highlighting, and HTML sanitization for safe exports.

## Use cases
- convert markdown notes to pdf
- export readme as pdf from vscode
- render markdown with mermaid diagrams to pdf
- turn markdown documentation into html or images
- export markdown with math formulas to pdf
- save markdown file as png or jpeg

## When to choose
- you work in VS Code and want one-click Markdown export to PDF, HTML, or images
- you need Mermaid, PlantUML, or KaTeX rendering in exported documents
- you want syntax-highlighted code blocks in the output

## When to avoid
- you need headless or CI-based Markdown conversion without an editor
- you use an IDE other than VS Code
- you need fine-grained print layout control beyond the extension's settings

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: pdf, markdown, image-processing, documentation
- domain: pdf, documentation, developer-tools, files
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vscode-extension, markdown-to-pdf, mermaid, plantuml, katex, export
