Convert Markdown to PDF via Pandoc with two rendering engines.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# md-to-pdf
Convert Markdown to PDF via Pandoc with two rendering engines.
## When to Use
- Reports, manuscripts, and printable documentation
- Documents needing high-fidelity typography (LaTeX engine)
- Faster turnaround drafts (HTML/wkhtmltopdf engine)
## What's Here
`md-to-pdf.cjs` — Node script that wraps Pandoc.
## External Dependencies
- `node` (≥ 16)
- `pandoc` (≥ 3.0) on PATH
- One of:
- `lualatex` / TeX Live (high-quality typography, slower)
- `wkhtmltopdf` (HTML route, faster, less precise)
## Usage
```bash
node md-to-pdf.cjs input.md
node md-to-pdf.cjs input.md --engine lualatex
node md-to-pdf.cjs input.md --engine wkhtmltopdf
node md-to-pdf.cjs input.md --output custom.pdf
```
The script auto-detects available engines if `--engine` is omitted, preferring `lualatex` when present.
## Frontmatter Hooks
YAML frontmatter is forwarded to Pandoc. Useful keys:
```yaml
---
title: My Document
author: Your Name
date: 2026-04-28
toc: true
geometry: margin=1in
---
```
## Notes
- Mermaid diagrams are pre-rendered to PNG and embedded
- Code blocks get syntax highlighting via Pandoc's `--highlight-style`

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.6d4ccd2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
