How do I turn a README into a PDF?

Open your README.md file or paste its text, then check headings, tables and code in the preview. Select A4 or Letter and margins, click Save as PDF and select the PDF destination in the print dialog. Relative image paths need to be replaced with accessible HTTPS image URLs.

Why does my PDF have extra headers or clipped tables?

Check the browser print preview before saving. Disable its headers and footers if it adds a date or page URL. For wide tables, try narrow margins or shorten long cells. Page breaks and the final layout depend on your browser.

Can a document load images from another website?

Yes. HTTPS image links can make your browser request the image from its host. The Markdown is processed locally, but a document containing remote images is not completely offline. Notes are also saved in this browser, so clear the editor after using a shared device.

Does the file go to a server?

The Markdown text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to Radiank. Remote images included in the document may be requested from their hosts.

Which Markdown is supported?

Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strike, links, http(s) images, lists, quotes, tables, inline and fenced code. No raw HTML, no javascript:.

Why a print dialog instead of a download?

The browser PDF engine keeps vector text, page breaks and your fonts. A canvas export would rasterise everything. In Chrome: Printer → Save as PDF.

Yes, in this browser’s localStorage, with paper size and margins. Another device or a private window starts empty.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Source and preview become tabs. Saving a PDF depends on the mobile browser (often Print → Save as PDF).
